Subject: [PATCH 6/8] mm/damon/core: handle extreme memory state in damon_get_node_mem_bp()
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 06:18:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901131850.98037-7-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901131850.98037-1-sj@kernel.org>
In an extreme and unlikely situation, si_meminfo_node() might let the
caller show zero total ram. That could cause a divide by zero in
damon_get_node_mem_bp(). It could also show free memory larger than the
total memory. This could cause underflow and make DAMOS temporarily
make unexpected behavior. Thanks to safety guards in the auto-tuning
feedback loop, that should not be a real problem, though. Fix the
problems by respectively returning 100% and 0% for used and free memory
queries in the corner cases.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
