Subject: [RFC PATCH 6.18.y 3/5] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: read sysfs_filter->sz_range only once
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 12:09:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107201001.206120-4-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107201001.206120-1-sj@kernel.org>
DAMON sysfs interface reads the user-provided size range arguments for
hugepage_size type DAMOS filter twice. Once for validation, and once
again for assignments to the variable that will be passed to the core
layer. If the user updates the arguments in parallel, an invalid size
range could be passed to the core layer. Avoid it by doing the
assignments first, and then validating the assigned variables before
passing those to the core layer.
User impact of the bug should be trivial. From the core layer's
perspective, the invalid size range is not really invalid. It just works
as having a weird size range. No critical issues such as a crash or a
leak could happen. And sane users ain't do such parallel arguments update
anyway. If they do, such racy behavior is arguably somewhat expected and
deserved. That said, there is no reason to keep such races.
