Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr in repeat_call_fn
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:35:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320163559.178101-3-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320163559.178101-1-objecting@objecting.org>
damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() calls damon_sysfs_upd_tuned_intervals(),
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_stats(), and
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_effective_quotas() without checking
contexts->nr. If nr_contexts is set to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is
running, these functions dereference contexts_arr[0] and cause a NULL
pointer dereference. Add the missing check.
Fixes: d809a7c64ba8 ("mm/damon/sysfs: implement refresh_ms file internal work")
