damos_goal_tune_esz_bp_temporal() hands the size quota to
damos_set_effective_quota() through quota->esz_bp in basis points, and
the multiply that gets it there is unchecked. On 32-bit it wraps above
429496 bytes, and to exactly zero for every multiple of 256 MiB. A zero
effective quota makes damos_quota_is_full() true on the first test of
every charge window, so the scheme applies nothing for as long as the
goal is unachieved.
Patch 1 bounds the conversion. Patch 2 pins the boundary in the core
kunit suite, where it would fail without patch 1 on any word size.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/damon/20260920023111.2466265-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com/
Changes in v3, all from SJ Park's review; the code is unchanged:
- patch 1: wrap the changelog at 72 columns, say what the impact is and
is not, fold the 64-bit boundary into the trigger conditions rather
than arguing it separately, and drop the passage on why widening
esz_bp is not the fix
- patch 2: wrap the changelog at 72 columns; pick up the Reviewed-by
- drop the documentation patch, which SJ asked to drop
Rebased onto mm-new 87acb5b914c2; v2's base is no longer in that branch.
DAMON kunit on x86_64, on the new base: 36 tests, all passing with both
patches; 35 passing and damos_test_esz_goal_temporal failing with patch
2 alone.

damos_goal_tune_esz_bp_temporal() converts the scheme's size quota
into basis points with "quota->esz_bp = quota->sz * 10000", both
unsigned long, and damos_set_effective_quota() divides the result
back by 10000. quotas/bytes is unbounded; bytes_store() hands it to
kstrtoul() as is.
On 32-bit the product wraps for any size quota above ULONG_MAX /
10000, that is 429496 bytes. It lands on exactly zero when the quota
is a multiple of 256 MiB, which includes the 1 GiB that
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage.rst uses in its example, and
a zero effective quota makes damos_quota_is_full() true on the first
test of every charge window. The scheme then applies nothing while
the goal is unachieved. Other wrapped values are simply wrong, and
any product below 10000 divides to a zero effective quota too: 429497
gives 0, 500000 gives 70503.
Triggering this needs a scheme with a quota goal, the temporal goal
tuner, and a size quota above ULONG_MAX / 10000 -- 429496 bytes on
32-bit, 1844674407370955 on 64-bit -- so it is unlikely to be hit on
a tested setup. Nothing is corrupted and nothing leaks. The scheme
makes no progress for as long as the goal is unachieved, which is
easy to notice, and writing a smaller size quota restores it.
addr_unit does not cover this. It only scales the numbers a paddr
context writes to quotas/bytes, so a large enough scaled value wraps
just the same, and vaddr and fvaddr contexts take raw byte values.
Bound the multiply. A size quota too large to convert now takes the
same ULONG_MAX branch as a scheme with no size quota, so the
effective quota becomes ULONG_MAX / 10000 instead of a wrapped value.

Measured on i386 under QEMU: one paddr context with a stat scheme, the
temporal goal tuner, and one unachieved user_input goal. Each size is
written to quotas/bytes and quotas/effective_bytes is read back after
update_schemes_effective_quotas.

Everything the conversion can hold is unchanged, and 429496 is what the
no-size-quota row already produced before the patch.

damos_goal_tune_esz_bp_temporal() encodes the size quota in basis
points, so the conversion is exact only up to ULONG_MAX / 10000. Pin
the three sizes around that boundary: the largest one that fits, the
first one that does not, and ULONG_MAX.

As I commented [1] on v2 thread, this version is posted without ensuring the
discussion is done, and gave time for others to chime in. I will skip
reviewing this version.
