From 0a63a0e7570b9b2631dfb8d836dc572709dce39e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 11:20:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/tests/vaddr-kunit: handle alloc failures on damon_test_split_evenly_succ()

damon_test_split_evenly_succ() 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.
