Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] mm/damon/core: disallow non-power of two min_region_sz on damon_start()
Date: Mon,  4 May 2026 06:04:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504130418.26862-1-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050357-senator-aroma-1859@gregkh>

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].
