[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/stat: fix memory leak on damon_start() failure in damon_stat_start()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-damon-stat-fix-memory-leak-on-damon_start-failure-in-damon_stat_start.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/damon/stat: fix memory leak on damon_start() failure in damon_stat_start()
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:15:53 +0800

Destroy the DAMON context and reset the global pointer when damon_start()
fails.  Otherwise, the context allocated by damon_stat_build_ctx() is
leaked, and the stale damon_stat_context pointer will be overwritten on
the next enable attempt, making the old allocation permanently
unreachable.
