Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 0/4] samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}() failures
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 18:14:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610011420.3018-1-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.  As a result, memory leaks, next
DAMON operation disruptions, and use-after-free can happen.  Fix those.

Changes from RFC v2
- RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20260609142119.68120-1-sj@kernel.org
- Add damon_start() failure handling fix for wsse and prcl.
Changes from RFC v1
