https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/rust/kernel into drm-next DRM Rust changes for v7.4-rc1 - Cross-subsystem: - I/O (shared from driver-core tree via signed tag rust-io-7.4-rc1): - Reimplement register!() as a procedural macro, require matching base types for register access, and replace relative registers with typed I/O projections. Convert Nova, Tyr and the PCI sample - Add AsRepr/AsReprMut conversions for I/O on compatible wrapper types and transmute helpers with deferred size checks - DMA (shared from driver-core tree via signed tag rust-dma-7.4-rc1): - Tie Coherent, CoherentBox and CoherentHandle to the device's bound lifetime, and allow scoped debugfs files backed by non-'static data - Allow auxiliary registration-data closures to return covariant sub-fields and add UserSliceWriter::write_truncated() - Implement Send and Sync for MapleTree - Add PCI resource_flags() and IORESOURCE_MEM_64, and convert PCI IRQ flags to impl_flags!() - Add I/O view cast() with compile-time size and alignment checks - DRM: - Add Rust dma_fence abstractions with separate producer (DriverFence) and consumer (Fence) types, per-context sequencing, signal callbacks and preallocation. Additional backend operations remain follow-up work. - Initialize DRM registrations and their data in place, removing a separate allocation - Drop the unused flags argument from drm::Registration::new() - Nova: - UAPI and Cross Module API: - Add NovaCoreApi and a lifetime-bound handle for auxiliary child drivers, carried in nova-drm registration data - Expose a render node and extensible INFO ioctl reporting GPU architecture, opaque chip ID, usable VRAM and VRAM BAR sizes, full and short GPU names, and GID, with size discovery and truncation to the userspace buffer size - Move BAR-size queries into GPU info, removing GETPARAM and changing the UAPI - PRAMIN access: - Add typed CPU access to VRAM through the movable 1 MiB BAR0 PRAMIN window, with per-architecture support from Turing through Blackwell - Add GpuMm centralized memory manager, VramAddress type, aperture documentation and optional probe-time self-tests under CONFIG_NOVA_CORE_SELFTESTS - GPU virtual memory and BAR1: - Add VRAM buddy allocation, TLB flushing, MMU v2/v3 page-table types with trait-based generics (PteOps, PdeOps, DualPdeOps, MmuConfig) and a generic walker - Add maple-tree virtual address tracking and multi-page mapping, separating allocation from mapping execution - Add CPU access to mapped VRAM through BAR1 and memory-management self-tests; handle 64-bit BAR0 when locating BAR1 - GPU interrupts and GSP events: - Add GIN (GPU Interrupt and Notification) interrupt-tree support with MSI-X, MSI fallback and per-architecture rearming - Drain GSP events between commands via a threaded SWGEN0 handler - Report OS errors, robust-channel notifications and unknown messages without aborting command waits; hold the queue lock and use one deadline per wait - Disable GSP event interrupts on persistent falcon faults or drain errors - Add a delivery/rearm self-test, interrupt-tree KUnit coverage and interrupt-controller documentation - GSP messaging fixes: - Queue setup RPCs before GSP-RM boot - Correct DMA barriers in both queue directions - Firmware and transport: - Extract a reusable radix3 buffer mapper; zero-pad page-table levels to whole pages to prevent booter reads of stale padding - Correct GSP-FMC naming and boot-flow documentation - Set MCTP header version 1 for FSP messages and retain the command queue's BAR0 reference - Resource handling: - Replace unnecessary BarUser reference counting with in-place ownership and borrowed access; consolidate probe initialization - Declare an unlimited DMA maximum segment size - Tyr: - Use bitfield!() for firmware section flags and memory attributes that do not describe registers - Zero unsupported and newly added GPU-info fields, and limit the doorbell array to 17 entries to fit the mapped register region Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> From: "Danilo Krummrich" <dakr@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/DM371PN4TBJT.3LY1B0EYWSI4@kernel.org

This reverts commit a16fd3ad9d89b05475864da97327870464611736. The commit was made to avoid zero damos quota goal target value, because it can trigger division-by-zero.

Commit 835a50753579 ("selftests/bpf: Add -fms-extensions to bpf build flags") gave the selftests the flag because the kernel is built with it, and the generated vmlinux.h carries anonymous members declared by tag: struct slab { ... struct freelist_counters; }; samples/bpf did not get it. clang without the flag reads such a line as a declaration that declares nothing, one warning per line for every sample that includes vmlinux.h: ./vmlinux.h:34528:3: warning: declaration does not declare anything [-Wmissing-declarations] and lays the struct out without the member, so the BTF of the object describes a struct the kernel does not have, and a program that touches the member does not build at all.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix error output of boot instance creation failure Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out the name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is because it prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by strsep(). Print the saved name instead. While at it, print the error code of the failure. - Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events. But if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event that uses the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free the original after duplication leaves the old variable in place and still visible. If another histogram uses than variable, it will use the stale one which will try to reference the freed duplicate histogram and crash the kernel. Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram data. - Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check if it succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were to fail, the code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error returned. - Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update the ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to read stale data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring buffer sub-buffer size. - Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which calls free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed has no children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of the creation of the "events" directory, the children lists have not yet been initialized and the free will trigger a warning because list_empty() on an uninitialized list returns false. Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and makes sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized upon creation. - Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does not test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a failure if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed. - Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state. It makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if the allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with a pointer to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its data, it will free the parent's descriptor while the parent is still using it. In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL before testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will not free the parent's descriptor. - Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed replacement leaves it at -1. But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and exits with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it. - Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it exit with an error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING. * tag 'trace-v7.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap fails tracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-multi-modify samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-modify eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei() tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order change tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop() tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers tracing: Fix logged instance name on creation failure

"mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error handling" (SJ Park) Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code - "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan) Add checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside prep_compound_tail() - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry Song) Eliminate redundant lru_add_drain() calls in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock contention and system overhead By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a 30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu) Reorganize folio LRU and swap code by relocating page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c, and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h. - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Add userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David Hildenbrand) Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way. - "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park) Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to maintain measurement accuracy. - "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin) Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under memory pressure. - "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport) Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse into new headers - "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin) Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency. - "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali Patil) Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not satisfied - "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park) Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring. By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().

This will allow BPF programs better precision in attaching to events. - Use "u64" to assign to hist_field->type Instead of using kstrdup("u64", GFP_KERNEL) to assign the hist_field->type, just point it to "u64" instead. The hist_field->type is freed via kfree_const(). - Replace kmalloc()/strcpy() with kstrdup() for trace_printk Instead of having two calls to copy the module format string, just use kstrdup(). - Use __free() in trace event histograms and triggres where possible - Use seq_buf in trace event code instead of strcat() Instead of calculating the size of the buffer to use and filling it with strcat(), use the seq_buf infrastructure that takes care of making sure not to overflow the string size. - Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity The preempt_delay_test module can take an invalid CPU affinity mask and create confusing output. Simply have the module reject invalid affinity masks. - Prevent division by zero in ftrace_ops sample module code If the ftrace_ops sample module code receives the module parameter nr_function_calls set to zero, it can cause a division by zero error. - Warn when an event dereferences a parameter in TP_printk() On boot up and module load, the trace event TP_printk() is scanned for possible bugs. As the TP_printk() code is executed when the user reads the "trace" file and processes the data written when the trace_event executed, the data it reads can be literally days old. The scan currently checks for dereferencing printk formats like "%pI6". But it does not check if the parameters themselves have a dereference like: TP_printk("offset %08x: value %08x", (u32)(__entry->addr - __entry->edma->membase), __entry->value) __entry represents the pointer to the event on the ring buffer. The __entry->edma->membase is dereferencing a pointer on the ring buffer to find membase, but the __entry->edma may no longer be a valid pointer. Warn on this case too. - Replace some strcpy() with strscpy() - Clean up mmiotrace events to use assign_type() macro The assign_type() macro makes sure the event type is indeed the type that is being parsed. The mmiotrace trace was written before that macro was created so it just simply typecasted the pointer. Replace the typecasting with the macro. - Have the ENUM processing to numbers only process what is added The code that converts ENUMs to their numbers in the trace events scanned all events to do the processing. This was true when a module was loaded too. That is, instead of processing just the events for the module, it processed *all* events. Even the builtin ones that were processed at boot up. Add a check for the event->module matching mod if it is a module before processing it. * tag 'trace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (21 commits) tracing: Have trace_event_update_all() only handle module that is loading tracing: Cleanup event_enable_trigger_parse() by using __free() tracing: Report every TP_printk double dereference tracing/mmiotrace: Use trace_assign_type() in mmio_print_mark() tracing: Make per-template BTF id lists file-local tracing: Use seq_buf for string concatenation tracing: Use strscpy() instead of strcpy() in trace_sched_switch tracing: Warn when an event dereferences a pointer in TP_printk() samples/ftrace: Prevent division by zero when nr_function_calls is zero tracing: Reject invalid preemptirq_delay_test CPU affinity fgraph: Use trace_seq_putc() in print_graph_return() tracing/user_events: Replace a seq_printf() call by seq_puts() in user_seq_show() tracing/user_events: Use seq_putc() in two functions tracing: Bound histogram expression strings with seq_buf tracing: Return ERR_PTR() from expr_str() tracing: Use __free() for expr_str() buffer kernel/trace/trace_printk: Use kstrdup() instead of kmalloc() and strcpy() tracing: Point constant hist field type to string literal selftests/bpf: Add test for tracepoint btf_ids tracefs file tracing: Expose tracepoint BTF ids via tracefs ...

2026-08-06rust: module_param: support bool parametersWenzhao Liao
Add support for parsing boolean module parameters in the Rust module! macro. Currently, only integer types are supported by the `module_param!` macros. This patch implements the `ModuleParam` trait for `bool` by delegating the string parsing to the existing C implementation via `kstrtobool_bytes()`. It also wires up `PARAM_OPS_BOOL` so that the Rust parameter system correctly links to the C `param_ops_bool` structure. For demonstration and verification, a boolean parameter is added to `samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`. Support for boolean parameters will initially be used by the Rust null block driver [1].

2026-08-04samples/damon/mtier: error out for zero quota goal target valuesSJ Park
Patch series "mm/damon: avoid division by zero from damos_quota_score()". DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow the user to trigger division by zero in damos_quota_score(). Avoid it by adding parameters validation checks. This patch (of 2): damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target_value is zero. DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER lets users set the target_value via node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameters. It doesn't guard zero value case, though. As a result, users can trigger division by zero. Fix the issue by returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with zero node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameter values. DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER is just a sample module, but the consequence is quite bad. Also the zero node0_mem_free_bp parameter might look like a reasonable setup to some users. Hence, the issue might really happen in the real world. One reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below: # cd /sys/module/damon_sample_mtier/parameters # echo 4096 > node0_start_addr # echo 8192 > node0_end_addr # echo 8192 > node1_start_addr # echo 81920 > node1_end_addr # echo 0 > node0_mem_free_bp # echo Y > enabled # dmesg -w [...] [18792.235916] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [...] [18792.242787] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480 [...] This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-28samples/damon/prcl: stop and free damon ctx when damon_call() failsSJ Park
damon_sample_prcl_start() calls damon_call() right after damon_start() is succeeded. The kdamond that has started by the damon_start() could be terminated by itself before or in the middle of the damon_call() execution. There could be multiple reasons for such a stop including monitoring target process termination and kdamond_fn() internal memory allocation failures. In the case, damon_call() will fail and return an error without cleaning up the DAMON context object. The damon_sample_prcl_start() caller assumes it would clean up the object, though. When the user requests to start DAMON again, damon_sample_prcl_start() is called again, allocates a new DAMON context object and overwrites the pointer for the previous object. As a result, the previous context object is leaked. Safely stop the kdamond and deallocate the context object when the failure is returned. Note that the kdamond should be stopped first, because damon_call() failure means not complete termination of the kdamond but only the fact that the termination process has started. The user impact shouldn't be that significant because the race is not easy to happen, and only up to one DAMON context object can be leaked per race. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-07-28samples/damon/mtier: handle damon_stop() failureSJ Park
damon_sample_mtier_stop() assumes its damon_stop() call will always successfully stops the two DAMON contexts. Hence it deallocates the two DAMON contexts after the damon_stop() call. However, if a given context is already stopped, damon_stop() fails and returns an error while letting the DAMON contexts that have not yet stopped keep running. This kind of unexpected early DAMON context stops could happen due to memory allocation failures in kdamond_fn(). Because damon_sample_mtier_stop() just deallocates all DAMON contexts with damon_target and damon_region objects that are linked to the contexts, the execution of the unstopped DAMON context (kdamond) ends up using the memory that freed (use-after-free). Fix the issue by separating the damon_stop() to be invoked per context. Note that DAMON_SYSFS also allows multiple DAMON contexts execution. But, it calls damon_stop() for each context one by one. Hence this issue is only in mtier. For the long term, it would be better to refactor damon_stop() to always ensure stopping all contexts regardless of the failures in the middle. Make this fix in the current way, though, to keep it simple and easy to backport. I will do the refactoring later. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
