Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 0/6] samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}() failures
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 06:55:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610135546.64943-1-sj@kernel.org> (raw)

All DAMON sample modules are not correctly handling failures from
damon_start().  Among those, mtier also has an additional problem for
handling of damon_stop() failures.  wsse and prcl also have a problem in
their damon_call() failure handling.  As a result, memory leaks, next
DAMON operation disruptions, and use-after-free can happen.  Fix those.

Note that only the damon_start() failure caused issues can reliably be
reproduced.  Reproducing those issues require the admin permission,
though.

Changes from RFC v3
- RFC v3: https://lore.kernel.org/20260610011420.3018-1-sj@kernel.org
- Add damon_Call() failure handling fixes for wsse and prcl.
