From fafe953de2c661907c94055a2497c6b8dbfd26f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 11:19:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: handle memory failure from damon_test_target()

damon_test_target() 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.
