Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: fix tried_regions setup failure cleanup
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 16:01:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708080107.727043-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() sets up the tried_regions directory after
the stats directory has already been created.
If damon_sysfs_scheme_set_tried_regions() fails, scheme->tried_regions
has not been assigned. The error path nevertheless jumps to
put_tried_regions_out and dereferences scheme->tried_regions while
trying to put its kobject.
This can dereference uninitialized memory because struct
damon_sysfs_scheme is allocated with kmalloc-style allocation and
scheme->tried_regions is only assigned after tried_regions setup
succeeds.
On tried_regions setup failure, start cleanup from the last successfully
created directory, stats, instead of trying to put tried_regions.
Fixes: 5181b75f438d ("mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: implement schemes/tried_regions directory")
