SeongJae Park b55a42c605 mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: fix memory leak in damon_test_set_filters_default_reject() 
commit b5ab490d85 upstream.

Patch series "mm/damon/tests: fix memory bugs in kunit tests".

DAMON kunit tests were initially written assuming those will be run on
environments that are well controlled and therefore tolerant to transient
test failures and bugs in the test code itself.  The user-mode linux based
manual run of the tests is one example of such an environment.  And the
test code was written for adding more test coverage as fast as possible,
over making those safe and reliable.

As a result, the tests resulted in having a number of bugs including real
memory leaks, theoretical unhandled memory allocation failures, and unused
memory allocations.  The allocation failures that are not handled well are
unlikely in the real world, since those allocations are too small to fail.
But in theory, it can happen and cause inappropriate memory access.

It is arguable if bugs in test code can really harm users.  But, anyway
bugs are bugs that need to be fixed.  Fix the bugs one by one.  Also Cc
stable@ for the fixes of memory leak and unhandled memory allocation
failures.  The unused memory allocations are only a matter of memory
efficiency, so not Cc-ing stable@.

The first patch fixes memory leaks in the test code for the DAMON core
layer.

Following fifteen, three, and one patches respectively fix unhandled
memory allocation failures in the test code for DAMON core layer, virtual
address space DAMON operation set, and DAMON sysfs interface, one by one
per test function.

Final two patches remove memory allocations that are correctly deallocated
at the end, but not really being used by any code.


This patch (of 22):

Kunit test function for damos_set_filters_default_reject() allocates two
'struct damos_filter' objects and not deallocates those, so that the
memory for the two objects are leaked for every time the test runs.  Fix
this by deallocating those objects at the end of the test code.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
