The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: free old damon_sysfs_scheme_filter->memcg_path on write has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-sysfs-schemes-free-old-damon_sysfs_scheme_filter-memcg_path-on-write.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/sysfs-schemes: free old damon_sysfs_scheme_filter->memcg_path on write Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 11:36:07 -0700
memcg_path_store() assigns a newly allocated memory buffer to filter->memcg_path, without deallocating the previously allocated and assigned memory buffer. As a result, users can leak kernel memory by continuously writing a data to memcg_path DAMOS sysfs file. Fix the leak by deallocating the previously set memory buffer.
