Subject: [PATCH 10/19] mm/damon/core: validate params for probe hits weighted sum overflow
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:46:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710134651.18084-11-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710134651.18084-1-sj@kernel.org>

damon_probe_hits_wsum() could overflow in weird setups.  Users could set
the weight unreasonably high.  They could also set the aggregation
interval unreasonably high compared to the sampling interval.  Such user
setup is unlikely.  Even if such setup is used,
damon_has_probe_weights() always returns false, so the overflow cannot
happen.  The function may be completed in future, though.  Even if the
overflow happens, the consequence is degraded monitoring results for the
unreasonable setup. It is just a trivial user experience issue.

It is still better to be prevented unless the cost is expensive.  Avoid
the overflow by adding the parameter validation in the core layer
parameters validation function.
