The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon/core: initialize damo_filter->list from damos_new_filter() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-core-initialize-damo_filter-list-from-damos_new_filter.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Subject: mm/damon/core: initialize damo_filter->list from damos_new_filter() Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2023 20:37:32 +0000

damos_new_filter() is not initializing the list field of newly allocated filter object. However, DAMON sysfs interface and DAMON_RECLAIM are not initializing it after calling damos_new_filter(). As a result, accessing uninitialized memory is possible. Actually, adding multiple DAMOS filters via DAMON sysfs interface caused NULL pointer dereferencing. Initialize the field just after the allocation from damos_new_filter().
