Subject: mm/damon/core-kunit: handle region split failure in filter_out()
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:14:38 -0700

damos_test_filter_out() test checks if damos_filter_match() of an address
filter splits the region as expected under a given condition.  But, the
test continued regardless of the split successes.  As a result, the later
part of the test could dereference invalid pointers that returned from
damon_next_region().  Further, it could corrupt memory from
damon_destroy_region().

The consequent user impact (memory corruption) is quite bad.  The
realistic user impact would be limited, though.  It would affect only test
run setups.

Fix it by exiting early for the number of regions test failure.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
