The patch titled Subject: mm/damon/core: initialize damon_target->list in damon_new_target() has been added to the -mm mm-hotfixes-unstable branch. Its filename is mm-damon-core-initialize-damon_target-list-in-damon_new_target.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-damon-core-initialize-damon_target-list-in-damon_new_target.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-hotfixes-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/damon/core: initialize damon_target->list in damon_new_target() Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2022 19:31:30 +0000 'struct damon_target' creation function, 'damon_new_target()' is not initializing its '->list' field, unlike other DAMON structs creator functions such as 'damon_new_region()'. Normal users of 'damon_new_target()' initializes the field by adding the target to DAMON context's targets list, but some code could access the uninitialized field. This commit avoids the case by initializing the field in 'damon_new_target()'.
