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.

Fixes f1d13cacabe1 ("mm/damon/sysfs: implement DAMOS tried regions update command")
