[PATCH 1/2] mm/damon/core: initialize damo_filter->list from damos_new_filter()
From: SeongJae Park
Date: Sat Jul 29 2023 - 16:37:55 EST
damos_new_filter() is not initializing the list field of newly allocated
filter object. However, DAMON sysfs interface and DAMON_RECLAIM are not
initializing it after calling damos_new_filter(). As a result,
accessing uninitialized memory is possible. Actually, adding multiple
DAMOS filters via DAMON sysfs interface caused NULL pointer
dereferencing. Initialize the field just after the allocation from
damos_new_filter().
