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

From: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-12-26 10:26:40
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: damon, memory management, the rest · Maintainers: SeongJae Park, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

commit 34796417964b8d0aef45a99cf6c2d20cebe33733 upstream.

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'.
