Subject: mm/damon/core: disallow non-power of two min_region_sz on damon_start()
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 14:36:36 -0700

Commit d8f867fa0825 ("mm/damon: add damon_ctx->min_sz_region") introduced
a bug that allows unaligned DAMON region address ranges.  Commit
c80f46ac228b ("mm/damon/core: disallow non-power of two min_region_sz")
fixed it, but only for damon_commit_ctx() use case.  Still, DAMON sysfs
interface can emit non-power of two min_region_sz via damon_start().  Fix
the path by adding the is_power_of_2() check on damon_start().

The issue was discovered by sashiko [1].
