Subject: [PATCH for-v5.15.x] mm/damon/dbgfs: fix 'struct pid' leaks in 'dbgfs_target_ids_write()'
Date:   Sun,  2 Jan 2022 11:21:41 +0000
Message-Id: <20220102112141.12281-1-sj@kernel.org>
Precedence: bulk

commit ebb3f994dd92f8fb4d70c7541091216c1e10cb71 upstream.

DAMON debugfs interface increases the reference counts of 'struct pid's
for targets from the 'target_ids' file write callback
('dbgfs_target_ids_write()'), but decreases the counts only in DAMON
monitoring termination callback ('dbgfs_before_terminate()').

Therefore, when 'target_ids' file is repeatedly written without DAMON
monitoring start/termination, the reference count is not decreased and
therefore memory for the 'struct pid' cannot be freed.  This commit
fixes this issue by decreasing the reference counts when 'target_ids' is
written.
