In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: delete tried region in regions rmdirs()
DAMON sysfs maintains the DAMOS tried region directory objects via a linked list. When the user requests refresh of the directories, DAMON sysfs removes all the region directories first, and then generate updated regions directory on the empty space. The removal function (damon sysfs scheme regions rm dirs()) only puts the kobj objects. Deletion of the container region object from the linked list is done inside the kobj release callback function.
If somehow the callback invocation is delayed, the list will contain regions list that gonna be freed. If the updated region directories creation is started in this situation, the list can be corrupted and use-after-free can happen.
Because the kobj objects are managed by only DAMON sysfs, the issue cannot happen in normal situation. But, such delays can be made on kernels that built with CONFIG DEBUG KOBJECT RELEASE. On the kernel, the issue can indeed be reproduced like below.

damo start --damos action stat

cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0/

for i in {1..10}; do echo update schemes tried regions > state; done

dmesg | grep underflow

[ 89.296152] refcount t: underflow; use-after-free.
Fix the issue by removing the region object from the list when decrementing the reference count.
Also update damos sysfs populate region dir() to add the region object to the list only after the kobject init and add() is success, so that fail of kobject init and add() is not leaving the deallocated object on the list.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
