Subject: samples/damon/mtier: error out for zero quota goal target values
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 06:40:32 -0700

Patch series "mm/damon: avoid division by zero from damos_quota_score()".

DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow the user to trigger division
by zero in damos_quota_score().  Avoid it by adding parameters validation
checks.


This patch (of 2):

damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target_value is
zero.  DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER lets users set the target_value via
node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameters.  It doesn't guard zero value case,
though.  As a result, users can trigger division by zero.  Fix the issue
by returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with zero
node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameter values.

DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER is just a sample module, but the consequence is quite
bad.  Also the zero node0_mem_free_bp parameter might look like a
reasonable setup to some users.  Hence, the issue might really happen in
the real world.

One reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below:

    # cd /sys/module/damon_sample_mtier/parameters
    # echo 4096 > node0_start_addr
    # echo 8192 > node0_end_addr
    # echo 8192 > node1_start_addr
    # echo 81920 > node1_end_addr
    # echo 0 > node0_mem_free_bp
    # echo Y > enabled
    # dmesg -w
    [...]
    [18792.235916] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
    [...]
    [18792.242787] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480
