6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 84055688b6bc075c92a88e2d6c3ad26ab93919f9 upstream. DAMOS tried regions sysfs directory allocation function (damon_sysfs_scheme_regions_alloc()) is not handling the memory allocation failure. In the case, the code will dereference NULL pointer. Handle the failure to avoid such invalid access.
