3 dayssamples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-multi-modifyHaotian Zhang
ftrace_direct_multi_init() assigns kthread_run()'s return value to simple_tsk without an IS_ERR() check. When kthread_run() fails it returns ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM), but init still returns 0, so the module loads with simple_tsk holding an error pointer. On unload, ftrace_direct_multi_exit() then passes that ERR_PTR to kthread_stop(), leading to a null-pointer-dereference. Check the return value of kthread_run() with IS_ERR(); on failure, unregister the ftrace direct call and propagate the error code.

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko.

This will allow BPF programs better precision in attaching to events. - Use "u64" to assign to hist_field->type Instead of using kstrdup("u64", GFP_KERNEL) to assign the hist_field->type, just point it to "u64" instead. The hist_field->type is freed via kfree_const(). - Replace kmalloc()/strcpy() with kstrdup() for trace_printk Instead of having two calls to copy the module format string, just use kstrdup(). - Use __free() in trace event histograms and triggres where possible - Use seq_buf in trace event code instead of strcat() Instead of calculating the size of the buffer to use and filling it with strcat(), use the seq_buf infrastructure that takes care of making sure not to overflow the string size. - Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity The preempt_delay_test module can take an invalid CPU affinity mask and create confusing output. Simply have the module reject invalid affinity masks. - Prevent division by zero in ftrace_ops sample module code If the ftrace_ops sample module code receives the module parameter nr_function_calls set to zero, it can cause a division by zero error. - Warn when an event dereferences a parameter in TP_printk() On boot up and module load, the trace event TP_printk() is scanned for possible bugs. As the TP_printk() code is executed when the user reads the "trace" file and processes the data written when the trace_event executed, the data it reads can be literally days old. The scan currently checks for dereferencing printk formats like "%pI6". But it does not check if the parameters themselves have a dereference like: TP_printk("offset %08x: value %08x", (u32)(__entry->addr - __entry->edma->membase), __entry->value) __entry represents the pointer to the event on the ring buffer. The __entry->edma->membase is dereferencing a pointer on the ring buffer to find membase, but the __entry->edma may no longer be a valid pointer. Warn on this case too. - Replace some strcpy() with strscpy() - Clean up mmiotrace events to use assign_type() macro The assign_type() macro makes sure the event type is indeed the type that is being parsed. The mmiotrace trace was written before that macro was created so it just simply typecasted the pointer. Replace the typecasting with the macro. - Have the ENUM processing to numbers only process what is added The code that converts ENUMs to their numbers in the trace events scanned all events to do the processing. This was true when a module was loaded too. That is, instead of processing just the events for the module, it processed *all* events. Even the builtin ones that were processed at boot up.

2026-08-06rust: module_param: support bool parametersWenzhao Liao
Add support for parsing boolean module parameters in the Rust module! macro. Currently, only integer types are supported by the `module_param!` macros. This patch implements the `ModuleParam` trait for `bool` by delegating the string parsing to the existing C implementation via `kstrtobool_bytes()`. It also wires up `PARAM_OPS_BOOL` so that the Rust parameter system correctly links to the C `param_ops_bool` structure. For demonstration and verification, a boolean parameter is added to `samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`. Support for boolean parameters will initially be used by the Rust null block driver [1].

2026-08-04samples/damon/mtier: error out for zero quota goal target valuesSJ Park
Patch series "mm/damon: avoid division by zero from damos_quota_score()". DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow the user to trigger division by zero in damos_quota_score(). Avoid it by adding parameters validation checks. This patch (of 2): damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target_value is zero. DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER lets users set the target_value via node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameters. It doesn't guard zero value case, though. As a result, users can trigger division by zero. Fix the issue by returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with zero node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameter values. DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER is just a sample module, but the consequence is quite bad. Also the zero node0_mem_free_bp parameter might look like a reasonable setup to some users. Hence, the issue might really happen in the real world. One reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below: # cd /sys/module/damon_sample_mtier/parameters # echo 4096 > node0_start_addr # echo 8192 > node0_end_addr # echo 8192 > node1_start_addr # echo 81920 > node1_end_addr # echo 0 > node0_mem_free_bp # echo Y > enabled # dmesg -w [...] [18792.235916] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [...] [18792.242787] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480 [...] This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-28samples/damon/prcl: stop and free damon ctx when damon_call() failsSJ Park
damon_sample_prcl_start() calls damon_call() right after damon_start() is succeeded. The kdamond that has started by the damon_start() could be terminated by itself before or in the middle of the damon_call() execution. There could be multiple reasons for such a stop including monitoring target process termination and kdamond_fn() internal memory allocation failures. In the case, damon_call() will fail and return an error without cleaning up the DAMON context object. The damon_sample_prcl_start() caller assumes it would clean up the object, though. When the user requests to start DAMON again, damon_sample_prcl_start() is called again, allocates a new DAMON context object and overwrites the pointer for the previous object. As a result, the previous context object is leaked. Safely stop the kdamond and deallocate the context object when the failure is returned. Note that the kdamond should be stopped first, because damon_call() failure means not complete termination of the kdamond but only the fact that the termination process has started. The user impact shouldn't be that significant because the race is not easy to happen, and only up to one DAMON context object can be leaked per race. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-28samples/damon/mtier: handle damon_stop() failureSJ Park
damon_sample_mtier_stop() assumes its damon_stop() call will always successfully stops the two DAMON contexts. Hence it deallocates the two DAMON contexts after the damon_stop() call. However, if a given context is already stopped, damon_stop() fails and returns an error while letting the DAMON contexts that have not yet stopped keep running. This kind of unexpected early DAMON context stops could happen due to memory allocation failures in kdamond_fn(). Because damon_sample_mtier_stop() just deallocates all DAMON contexts with damon_target and damon_region objects that are linked to the contexts, the execution of the unstopped DAMON context (kdamond) ends up using the memory that freed (use-after-free). Fix the issue by separating the damon_stop() to be invoked per context. Note that DAMON_SYSFS also allows multiple DAMON contexts execution. But, it calls damon_stop() for each context one by one. Hence this issue is only in mtier. For the long term, it would be better to refactor damon_stop() to always ensure stopping all contexts regardless of the failures in the middle. Make this fix in the current way, though, to keep it simple and easy to backport. I will do the refactoring later. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-28samples/damon/mtier: handle damon_start() failureSJ Park
damon_sample_mtier_start() callers assume it will clean up resources when it fails. And the function does the cleanup for context buildup failures. However, it is not doing the cleanup for damon_start() failure. As a result, when damon_start() fails, it could leak the memory for DAMON context. Also, if damon_start() fails for only the second context, the first context will indefinitely run, and avoid starting other DAMON contexts since it is running in the exclusive mode. Stop possibly started DAMON context and free the contexts in case of the failure to fix the issues. Note that the issue can reliably be reproduced because the module calls damon_start() in the exclusive mode.

2026-07-28samples/ftrace: Prevent division by zero when nr_function_calls is zeroSamuel Moelius
The ftrace-ops sample exposes nr_function_calls as a module parameter and uses it as the divisor when printing the measured time per call. Loading the module with nr_function_calls=0 skips the benchmark loop and then divides the elapsed time by zero, crashing the kernel during sample module initialization. Keep accepting the parameter value, but report -1LL as the per-call duration when the call count is zero instead of dividing by it.

2026-07-21rust: device: make lifetime on `Core` and `CoreInternal` invariantGary Guo
Currently the lifetime on `Core` and `CoreInternal` is covariant. This means that they can be coerced into shorter living lifetimes. On `probe` function, signature has `&'bound Device<Core<'a>>`; the type's wellformness would imply `'a: 'bound` and thus the type can be coerced `&'bound Device<Core<'bound>>`, defeating the purpose of having the lifetime bound to prevent users of the `Core` type to escape the function. Fix this by making the lifetime invariant, so the coercion is impossible. The lifetime here only needs to be "branded" so it does not coerce or unify with other lifetimes, so we do not need to ensure `'bound: 'a`. This requires modifying `nova-core` which relies on this implied bound due to pre-2024 capture rule. The "use" bound can be removed if built with edition 2024.

2026-07-14tracing/probes: Add a new testcase for BTF typecastsMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
With the introduction of container_of-style BTF typecasting and per-CPU variable access support in trace probes, we need a way to verify their functionality and prevent regressions. Add a new ftrace kselftest and update the trace event sample module to test and validate these features. Specifically, update the trace-events-sample module to set up a periodic timer whose callback accesses a per-CPU counter. Introduce a new sample trace event, foo_timer_fn, to trace this callback and log the current counter value. Then, add a new test case, btf_probe_event.tc, which defines a dynamic probe on the timer callback. The probe uses BTF typecasting to recover the parent structure from the timer argument and this_cpu_read() to fetch the per-CPU counter. The test verifies the integrity of the implementation by ensuring the values recorded by the dynamic probe match those from the static tracepoint.

2026-07-13Merge patch series "ForLt/CovariantForLt split, auxiliary closure API and ↵Danilo Krummrich
DevresLt" Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org> says: The ForLt trait currently guarantees covariance, which allows safe lifetime shortening via cast_ref(). However, some types (e.g. those containing Mutex<&'bound T>) are invariant over their lifetime parameter and cannot safely use cast_ref(). This series splits ForLt into two traits: - ForLt: base trait for all lifetime-parameterized types, providing only the Of<'a> GAT. - CovariantForLt: unsafe subtrait that guarantees covariance, providing a safe cast_ref() method. For invariant types, a closure-based API (registration_data_with()) is added to the auxiliary subsystem. The closure's HRTB prevents the caller from choosing a concrete lifetime, which would be unsound for invariant types. On top of that, this series adds DevresLt<F: ForLt>, a thin wrapper around Devres<F::Of<'static>> that shortens the stored 'static lifetime back to the caller's borrow scope. DevresLt provides both closure-based access (access_with/try_access_with for ForLt types) and direct reference access (access/try_access for CovariantForLt types). Also implement ForLt and CovariantForLt for Bar, IoMem and ExclusiveIoMem, and update their into_devres() methods to return DevresLt. Provide convenience type aliases DevresBar, DevresIoMem and DevresExclusiveIoMem.

This is because archs with that config set will always use the "big event meta header" as that is 8 bytes keeping the payload 8 bytes aligned, even when a 4 byte header could hold the size of the event But ring_buffer_event_length() doesn't take this into account and only subtracts 4 bytes for the meta header in the length when it should have subtracted 8 bytes - Have osnoise wait for a full rcu synchronization on unregister osnoise_unregister_instance() used to call synchronize_rcu() before freeing its copy of the instance but was switched to kfree_rcu(). The osniose tracer has code that traverses the instances that it uses, and inst is just a pointer to that instance. By using kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu(), the instance that the inst pointer is pointing to can be freed while the osnoise code is still referencing it That is, a rmdir on an instance first unregisters the tracer. When the unregister finishes, the rmdir expects that the tracer is finished with the instance that it is using. By putting back the synchronize_rcu() in osnoise_unregister_instance() the unregistering of osnoise will now return when all the users of the instance have finished - Remove an unused setting of "ret" in tracing_set_tracer() - Fix ring_buffer_read_page() copying events The commit that changed ring_buffer_read_page() to show dropped events from the buffer itself, split the "commit" variable between the commit value (with flags) and "size" that holds the size of the sub-buffer. A cut and paste error changed the test of the reading from checking the size of the buffer to the size of the event causing reads to only read one event at a time - Make tracepoint_printk a static variable When the tracing sysctl knobs were move from sysctl.c to trace.c, the variable tracepoint_printk no longer needed to be global. Make it static - Fix some typos - Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag() The flags update of the function tracer first checks if the value of the flag is the same and exits if they are, and then it checks if the current tracer is the function tracer and exits if it isn't. The problem is that these checks need to be in a reversed order, as if the tracer isn't the function tracer, then the flag being checked may not exist. Reverse the order of these checks - Fix ufs core trace events to not dereference a pointer in TP_printk() The TP_printk() part of the TRACE_EVENT() macro is called when the user reads the "trace" file. This can be seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and even months after the data was recorded into the ring buffer. Thus, saving a pointer to an object into the ring buffer and then dereferencing it from TP_printk() can cause harm as the object the pointer is pointing to may no longer exist Fix all the trace events in ufs core to save the device name in the ring buffer instead of dereferencing the device descriptor from TP_printk() - Prevent out-of-bound reads in glob matching of trace events The filter logic of events allows simple glob logic to add wild cards to filter on strings. But some events have fields that may not have a terminating 'nul' character. This may cause the glob matching to go beyond the string. Change the logic to always pass in the length of the field that is being matched - Add no-rcu-check version of trace_##event##_enabled() The trace_##event##_enabled() usually wraps trace events to do extra work that is only needed when the trace event is enabled. But this can hide events that are placed in locations where RCU is not watching, and can make lockdep not see these bugs when the event is not enabled The trace_##event##_enabled() was updated to always test to make sure RCU is watching to catch locations that may call events without RCU being active This caused a false positive for the irq_disabled() and related events. As that use trace_irq_disabled_enabled() to force RCU to be watching when the event is enabled via the ct_irq_enter() function, calls the event, and then calls ct_irq_exit() to put RCU back to its original state The trace_irq_disabled_enabled() should not trigger a warning when RCU is not watching because the code within its block handles the case properly. Make a __trace_##event##_enabled() version for this event to use that doesn't check RCU is watching as it handles the case when it isn't - Fix use-after-free in user_event_mm_dup() When the enabler is removed from the link list, it is freed immediately. But it is protected via RCU and needs to be freed after an RCU grace period. Use queue_rcu_work() so that the event_mutex can also be taken as user_event_put() takes the mutex on the last reference is released - Free type string in error path of parse_synth_field() There's an error path in parse_synth_field() where the allocated type string is not freed - Add selftest that tests deferred event teardown - Fix leak in error path of trace_remote_alloc_buffer() If page allocation fails, the desc->nr_cpus is not incremented for the current CPU and the allocations done for it are not freed - Fix allocation length in trace_remote_alloc_buffer() The logic to calculate the struct_len was doing a double count and setting the value too large.

One feature that was lost from the old `dma_read!` and `dma_write!` when moving to `io_read!` and `io_write!` was the ability to read/write a large structs. However, the semantics was unclear to begin with, as there was no guarantee about their atomicity even for structs that were small enough to fit in u32. Re-introduce the capability in the form of copying methods. dma_read!(foo, bar) -> io_project!(foo, bar).copy_read() dma_write!(foo, bar, baz) -> io_project!(foo, bar).copy_write(baz) Model these semantics after memcpy so user has clear expectation of lack of atomicity. As an additional benefit of this change, this now works for MMIO as well by mapping them to `memcpy_{from,to}io`. For slices which is DST so the `copy_read` and `copy_write` API above can't work, add `copy_from_slice` and `copy_to_slice` to copy from/to normal memory.

The primitive read/write use case is covered by the `io_read!` and `io_write!` macro. The non-primitive use case was finicky; they should either be achieved using `CoherentBox` or `as_ref()/as_mut()` to assert the lack of concurrent access, or should be using memcpy-like APIs to express the non-atomic and tearable nature.

2026-07-01samples/damon/mtier: fail early if address range parameters are invalidZenghui Yu
The comment on top of `struct damon_region` clearly says that For any use case, @ar should be non-zero positive size. which is now verified in damon_verify_new_region() if the kernel is built with DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY. The WARN_ONCE() can be triggered if the mtier sample module is enabled before node{0,1}_{start,end}_addr have been properly initialized, which is obviously not good. ------------[ cut here ]------------ start 0 >= end 0 WARNING: mm/damon/core.c:217 at damon_new_region+0xf4/0x118, CPU#59: bash/341468 Call trace: damon_new_region+0xf4/0x118 (P) damon_set_regions+0xfc/0x3c0 damon_sample_mtier_build_ctx+0xe8/0x3a8 damon_sample_mtier_start+0x1c/0x90 damon_sample_mtier_enable_store+0x98/0xb0 param_attr_store+0xb4/0x128 module_attr_store+0x2c/0x50 sysfs_kf_write+0x58/0x90 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x16c/0x238 vfs_write+0x2c0/0x370 ksys_write+0x74/0x118 __arm64_sys_write+0x24/0x38 invoke_syscall+0xa8/0x118 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x48/0xf0 do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38 el0_svc+0x54/0x370 el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xe8 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Note that the same issue can happen if detect_node_addresses is true, and node 0 or 1 is memoryless. Fix it together by checking the validity of parameters right before damon_new_region() and fail early if they're invalid.
