Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] mm/damon/sysfs-scheme: cleanup access_pattern subdirs on scheme dir setup failure
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 17:25:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121012549.251984-1-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026012015-plank-morphing-040c@gregkh>

When a DAMOS-scheme DAMON sysfs directory setup fails after setup of
access_pattern/ directory, subdirectories of access_pattern/ directory are
not cleaned up.  As a result, DAMON sysfs interface is nearly broken until
the system reboots, and the memory for the unremoved directory is leaked.

Cleanup the directories under such failures.
