The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: handle tried region directory allocation failure has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-sysfs-schemes-handle-tried-region-directory-allocation-failure.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: handle tried region directory allocation failure Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2023 23:34:08 +0000 DAMON sysfs interface's before_damos_apply callback (damon_sysfs_before_damos_apply()), which creates the DAMOS tried regions for each DAMOS action applied region, is not handling the allocation failure for the sysfs directory data. As a result, NULL pointer derefeence is possible. Fix it by handling the case.
