A DAMON sysfs user could start DAMON with a scheme, remove the sysfs directory for the scheme, and then ask stats or schemes tried regions update. The related logic were not aware of the already removed directory situation, so it was able to results in invalid memory accesses. The fix has made with commit 8468b486612c ("mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: skip stats update if the scheme directory is removed"), though. Add a selftest to prevent such kinds of bugs from being introduced again.

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 Restructured Text 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.
