Subject: mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: handle alloc failure on damon_test_set_attrs()
Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 11:20:06 -0700
damon_test_set_attrs() is assuming all dynamic memory allocation in it
will succeed. Those are indeed likely in the real use cases since those
allocations are too small to fail, but theoretically those could fail. In
the case, inappropriate memory access can happen. Fix it by appropriately
cleanup pre-allocated memory and skip the execution of the remaining tests
in the failure cases.

Subject: mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: handle alloc failures in damon_test_ops_registration()
Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 11:20:03 -0700
damon_test_ops_registration() is assuming all dynamic memory allocation in
it will succeed. Those are indeed likely in the real use cases since
those allocations are too small to fail, but theoretically those could
fail. In the case, inappropriate memory access can happen. Fix it by
appropriately cleanup pre-allocated memory and skip the execution of the
remaining tests in the failure cases.

Subject: mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: handle alloc failures on damon_test_merge_two()
Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 11:20:00 -0700
damon_test_merge_two() is assuming all dynamic memory allocation in it
will succeed. Those are indeed likely in the real use cases since those
allocations are too small to fail, but theoretically those could fail. In
the case, inappropriate memory access can happen. Fix it by appropriately
cleanup pre-allocated memory and skip the execution of the remaining tests
in the failure cases.
