The function for allocating and initialize a 'struct damos' object, damon_new_scheme(), is not initializing damos->walk_completed field. Only damos_walk_complete() is setting the field. Hence the field will be eventually set and used correctly from second damos_walk() call for the scheme. But the first damos_walk() could mistakenly not walk on the regions. Actually, a common usage of DAMOS for taking an access pattern snapshot is installing a monitoring-purpose DAMOS scheme, doing damos_walk() to retrieve the snapshot, and then removing the scheme. DAMON user-space tool (damo) also gets runtime snapshot in the way. Hence the problem can continuously happen in such use cases. Initialize it properly in the allocation function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
