The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/lru_sort: error out for >10000 active_mem_bp
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-damon-lru_sort-error-out-for-10000-active_mem_bp.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/damon/lru_sort: error out for >10000 active_mem_bp

damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target value is
zero.  DAMON_LRU_SORT lets users set the target value for the hot memory
scheme via active_mem_bp parameter.  It avoids setting it as the target
value if the parameter value is zero.  However, it also sets the cold
memory scheme with a target value that is calculated as '10000 -
active_mem_bp + 2'.  Hence, if a user sets active_mem_bp 10002, the cold
memory scheme's quota goal target value can be zero.  As a result,
division by zero can be triggered.  Fix by returning an error when the
user tries to start DAMON with >10000 active_mem_bp parameter value.

It makes no sense to set active_mem_bp with 10002.  It also requires
module parameters write permission to reproduce the issue.  That said, the
consequence is quite bad.

One reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below:

    # cd /sys/module/damon_lru_sort/parameters
    # echo 1000 > wmarks_high
    # echo 995 > wmarks_mid
    # echo 0 > wmarks_low
    # echo 10002 > active_mem_bp
    # echo Y > enabled
    # dmesg -w
    [...]
