[PATCH] mm/damon/dbgfs: Protect targets destructions with kdamond_lock

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Tue Dec 21 2021 - 04:44:55 EST


DAMON debugfs interface iterates current monitoring targets in
'dbgfs_target_ids_read()' while holding the corresponding
'kdamond_lock'. However, it also destructs the monitoring targets in
'dbgfs_before_terminate()' without holding the lock. This can result in
a use_after_free bug. This commit avoids the race by protecting the
destruction with the corresponding 'kdamond_lock'.

This cannot cleanly applied on 5.15.y tree. I will post a backport as
soon as this is applied on the mainline.
