Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mm/damon/core: prevent size quota overflow in the temporal goal tuner
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:13:23 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919071324.1583280-2-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919071324.1583280-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com>

damos_goal_tune_esz_bp_temporal() converts the scheme's size quota into
basis points with "quota->esz_bp = quota->sz * 10000", both unsigned long,
and damos_set_effective_quota() divides the result back by 10000.
quotas/bytes is unbounded; bytes_store() hands it to kstrtoul() as is.

On 32-bit the product wraps for any size quota above ULONG_MAX / 10000,
that is 429496 bytes.  Documentation/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage.rst
instructs "echo $((1024*1024*1024)) > quotas/bytes", and 1 GiB * 10000 is
2500 * 2^32, so that documented value wraps to exactly zero; 256 MiB and
every multiple of it do the same.  quota->esz then becomes zero while the
goal is not achieved, the trailing "if (quota->sz && quota->sz < esz)" can
only lower esz further, and damos_quota_is_full() is true on the first test
of every charge window, so the scheme applies nothing and the goal is never
approached.  Other sizes are wrong without being zero: 500000 yields 70503.

Saturate to ULONG_MAX, which is what the same function already writes for a
scheme with no size quota.  Widening esz_bp instead would reach the consist
tuner, which runs the same field through damon_feed_loop_next_input(),
unsigned long in and out; bounding the multiply keeps the change to this
branch.  On 32-bit a large size quota then behaves like no size quota
rather than like a dead scheme.

Measured on i386 under QEMU: one paddr context with a stat scheme, the
temporal goal tuner, and one unachieved user_input goal.  Each size is
written to quotas/bytes, the kdamond is started, and
quotas/effective_bytes is read back after
update_schemes_effective_quotas.

  0               429496             429496

Everything the conversion can hold is unchanged, and 429496 is what the
no-size-quota row already produced before the patch.

Patch 2 pins the same boundary at ULONG_MAX / 10000 and so runs on any
word size.  Without this patch it fails on x86_64:

  # damos_test_esz_goal_temporal: EXPECTATION FAILED at mm/damon/tests/core-kunit.h:1959
  Expected s.quota.esz == max_sz, but
      s.quota.esz == 0 (0x0)
      max_sz == 1844674407370955 (0x68db8bac710cb)
