Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
New issues:
- [High] Divide-by-zero in `damon_nr_accesses_mvsum()` when `aggr_interval` is 0.
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Divide-by-zero in `damon_max_nr_accesses()` when `sample_interval` is 0.

mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: remove nr_accesses_bp setup and tests
DAMON core unit tests set up nr_accesses_bp for representing realistic
damon_region, and also test the field. nr_acceses_bp is no longer being
used for a real use case. Remove the setup and tests.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[Severity: High]
If `ctx->attrs.aggr_interval` is 0, `window_len` evaluates to 0.
Since `damon_set_attrs()` accepts configurations where both `sample_us` and
`aggr_us` are 0, does this lead to a divide-by-zero here?
When the kdamond thread evaluates user-defined schemes, it appears to
unconditionally call __damos_valid_target() -> damon_nr_accesses_mvsum().
Could this regression be triggered via the DAMON sysfs interface to cause
a crash?

include/linux/damon.h:damon_max_nr_accesses() {
...
static inline unsigned int damon_max_nr_accesses(const struct damon_attrs *attrs)
{
/* {aggr,sample}_interval are unsigned long, hence could overflow */
return min(attrs->aggr_interval / attrs->sample_interval,
(unsigned long)UINT_MAX);
}
...
}
[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but there is a pre-existing
divide-by-zero risk if `sample_interval` is 0.
Does this calculation cause an immediate divide-by-zero exception?
Userspace can configure `sample_us` to 0 via sysfs, which avoids validation
in `damon_set_attrs()` if `aggr_us` is also 0.
Since `damon_get_scheme_score()` unconditionally invokes
`damon_max_nr_accesses()` when evaluating user-defined schemes, could this
allow a user to intentionally crash the kernel?
