Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 4/6] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: drop redundant and racy zero target_value check
Date: Sun,  1 Nov 2026 09:16:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101171630.81477-5-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261101171630.81477-1-sj@kernel.org>

DAMON sysfs interface disallowed zero target_value because it could
result in divide-by-zero in damos_quota_store().  Because similar checks
were duplicated to other DAMON API callers, a patch series that starts
with commit 610c4438fb66 ("mm/damon/core: error
damos_commit_quota_goal() for zero target_value") added a same check in
the core layer central parameters, and dropped redundant checks in
DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_SAMPLIE_MTIER.  It forgot to drop that in the
DAMON sysfs interface.

Now the zero target_value check in DAMON sysfs interface is only
redundant.  Further, it has a time-of-check to time-of-use (toctou) race
with target_value_store().  It can confuse readers to believe [1] the
division-by-zero can still happen.  Drop the redundant and racy check.
