Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid for node_mem_{used,free}_bp
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:54:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260328005412.7606-2-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260328005412.7606-1-sj@kernel.org>
Users can set damos_quota_goal->nid with arbitrary value for
node_mem_{used,free}_bp. But DAMON core is using those for
si_meminfo_node() without the validation of the value. This can result
in out of bounds memory access. The issue can actually triggered using
DAMON user-space tool (damo), like below.
$ sudo ./damo start --damos_action stat \
--damos_quota_goal node_mem_used_bp 50% -1 \
--damos_quota_interval 1s
$ sudo dmesg
[...]
[ 65.565986] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000098
Fix this issue by adding the validation of the given node. If an
invalid node id is given, it returns 0% for used memory ratio, and 100%
for free memory ratio.
Fixes: 0e1c773b501f ("mm/damon/core: introduce damos quota goal metrics for memory node utilization")
