Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs: dealloc repeat_call_control if damon_call() fails
damon_call() for repeat_call_control of DAMON_SYSFS could fail if somehow
the kdamond is stopped before the damon_call(). It could happen, for
example, when te damon context was made for monitroing of a virtual
address processes, and the process is terminated immediately, before the
damon_call() invocation. In the case, the dyanmically allocated
repeat_call_control is not deallocated and leaked.
Fix the leak by deallocating the repeat_call_control under the
damon_call() failure.
