Subject: + mm-damon-core-handle-extreme-memory-state-in-get_node_memcg_used_bp.patch added to mm-new branch
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 10:10:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901171046.3DC181F000E9@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The patch titled
Subject: mm/damon/core: handle extreme memory state in get_node_memcg_used_bp()
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch. Its filename is
mm-damon-core-handle-extreme-memory-state-in-get_node_memcg_used_bp.patch
This patch will shortly appear at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-damon-core-handle-extreme-memory-state-in-get_node_memcg_used_bp.patch
This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews. Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.
The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next
If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next
Before you just go and hit "reply", please:

b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's
*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***
The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: mm/damon/core: handle extreme memory state in get_node_memcg_used_bp()
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 06:18:48 -0700
In extreme unlikely situations, total memory might be zero. In less
extreme but still very unlikely situations, lruvec_page_state() calls
might let the caller show used memory larger than total memory. In the
two cases, damos_get_node_memcg_used_bp() could cause division by zero, or
return underflowed value, respectively. Handle the cases by respectively
returning 100% and 0% for used and free memory queries in the corner
cases.
This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
