------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Subject: mm/damon/sysfs-scheme: cleanup access_pattern subdirs on scheme dir setup failure Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 18:30:37 -0800

When a DAMOS-scheme DAMON sysfs directory setup fails after setup of access_pattern/ directory, subdirectories of access_pattern/ directory are not cleaned up. As a result, DAMON sysfs interface is nearly broken until the system reboots, and the memory for the unremoved directory is leaked.

Cleanup the directories under such failures.
