------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Subject: mm/damon/ops-common: ignore migration request to invalid nodes Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2025 11:58:22 -0700
damon_migrate_pages() tries migration even if the target node is invalid. If users mistakenly make such invalid requests via DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} action, the below kernel BUG can happen.

Add a target node validity check in damon_migrate_pages(). The validity check is stolen from that of do_pages_move(), which is being used for the move_pages() system call.
