Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/5] mm/damon/core: fix nr_accesses_bp underflow in damon_moving_sum
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 14:03:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260516210357.2247-2-ravis.opensrc@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260516210357.2247-1-ravis.opensrc@gmail.com>
Guard against unsigned integer underflow when nomvsum/len_window
exceeds mvsum. When that subtraction wraps, the moving sum returns a
near-ULONG_MAX value and corrupts nr_accesses_bp.
If subtrahend > mvsum, return new_value: this clamps the moving-sum
estimate to the current observation rather than wrapping.
