When damon_sysfs_add_target couldn't find proper task, New allocated
damon_target structure isn't registered yet, So, it's impossible to free
new allocated one by damon_sysfs_destroy_targets.

By calling damon_add_target as soon as allocating new target, Fix this
possible memory leak.

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time.  Fix this up by properly calling

<title>mm/damon/dbgfs: avoid duplicate context directory creation</title>

<id>d26f60703606ab425eee9882b32a1781a8bed74d</id>
<content type='text'>
When user tries to create a DAMON context via the DAMON debugfs interface
with a name of an already existing context, the context directory creation
fails but a new context is created and added in the internal data
structure, due to absence of the directory creation success check.  As a
result, memory could leak and DAMON cannot be turned on.  An example test
case is as below:

    # cd /sys/kernel/debug/damon/
    # echo "off" &gt;  monitor_on
    # echo paddr &gt; target_ids
    # echo "abc" &gt; mk_context
    # echo "abc" &gt; mk_context
    # echo $$ &gt; abc/target_ids
    # echo "on" &gt; monitor_on  &lt;&lt;&lt; fails

Return value of 'debugfs_create_dir()' is expected to be ignored in
general, but this is an exceptional case as DAMON feature is depending
on the debugfs functionality and it has the potential duplicate name
issue.  This commit therefore fixes the issue by checking the directory
creation failure and immediately return the error in the case.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve

damon_reclaim_init() allocates a memory chunk for ctx with
damon_new_ctx().  When damon_select_ops() fails, ctx is not released,
which will lead to a memory leak.

We should release the ctx with damon_destroy_ctx() when damon_select_ops()
fails to fix the memory leak.

Users can do data access-aware LRU-lists sorting using 'LRU_PRIO' and
'LRU_DEPRIO' DAMOS actions.  However, finding best parameters including
the hotness/coldness thresholds, CPU quota, and watermarks could be
challenging for some users.  To make the scheme easy to be used without
complex tuning for common situations, this commit implements a static
kernel module called 'DAMON_LRU_SORT' using the 'LRU_PRIO' and
'LRU_DEPRIO' DAMOS actions.

It proactively sorts LRU-lists using DAMON with conservatively chosen
default values of the parameters.  That is, the module under its default
parameters will make no harm for common situations but provide some level
of efficiency improvements for systems having clear hot/cold access
pattern under a level of memory pressure while consuming only a limited
small portion of CPU time.

This commit adds a new DAMON-based operation scheme action called
'LRU_DEPRIO' for physical address space.  The action deprioritizes pages
in the memory area of the target access pattern on their LRU lists.  This
is hence supposed to be used for rarely accessed (cold) memory regions so
that cold pages could be more likely reclaimed first under memory
pressure.  Internally, it simply calls 'lru_deactivate()'.

Using this with 'LRU_PRIO' action for hot pages, users can proactively
sort LRU lists based on the access pattern.  That is, it can make the LRU
lists somewhat more trustworthy source of access temperature.  As a
result, efficiency of LRU-lists based mechanisms including the reclamation
target selection could be improved.

result, efficiency of LRU-lists based mechanisms including the reclamation
target selection could be improved.

This commit adds a new DAMOS action called 'LRU_PRIO' for the physical
address space.  The action prioritizes pages in the memory regions of the
user-specified target access pattern on their LRU lists.  This is hence
supposed to be used for frequently accessed (hot) memory regions so that
hot pages could be more likely protected under memory pressure. 
Internally, it simply calls 'mark_page_accessed()'.

<title>mm/damon/paddr: use a separate function for 'DAMOS_PAGEOUT' handling</title>

This commit moves code for 'DAMOS_PAGEOUT' handling of the physical
address space monitoring operations set to a separate function so that its
caller, 'damon_pa_apply_scheme()', can be more easily extended for
additional DAMOS actions later.
