A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Data Access MONitor (DAMON) subsystem. A race condition exists in the memory management component, specifically during the exit process of `kdamond_fn()` and the registration of `damos_walk()` requests. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to trigger a deadlock, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
