Should this function validate the event parameter before passing it to
memcg_events()?

The call chain bpf_mem_cgroup_vm_events()->memcg_events()->memcg_events_index()
reaches an array access in memcg_events_index():

static inline int memcg_events_index(enum vm_event_item idx)
{
return mem_cgroup_events_index[idx];
}

The array mem_cgroup_events_index is declared with size NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS.
If a BPF program passes an event value >= NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS, this would
cause an out-of-bounds array read.

For comparison, bpf_mem_cgroup_page_state() below validates its idx
parameter before calling memcg_page_state_output(). A similar check here
would prevent the potential out-of-bounds access:

if (event < 0 || event >= NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS)
return (unsigned long)-1;
