Subject: mm/damon/stat: avoid overflow in estimated_memory_bandwidth calculation
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 16:48:14 -0800
estimated_memory_bandwidth is calculated by access_bytes * USEC_PER_MSEC *
MSEC_PER_SEC (= USEC_PER_SEC) / aggr_interval, and users read it via
/sys/module/damon_stat/parameters/estimated_memory_bandwidth.
On 32-bit systems, access_bytes * USEC_PER_SEC overflows unsigned long
once access_bytes exceeds about 4294 (U32_MAX / USEC_PER_SEC), so users
get a wrong value.
Fix it by doing the calculation in 64-bit and splitting the division into
quotient and remainder.
The issue was reproduced on a 32-bit system (qemu-system-i386): the
parameter estimated_memory_bandwidth reported 362 instead of the expected
1926150; with the fix, the value matches the expectation.
