Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] mm/damon/core: prevent size quota overflow in the temporal goal tuner
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:25:58 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923002600.1825448-2-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923002600.1825448-1-donggeunyoo.kernel@gmail.com>
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. A wrapped product below 10000 divides
to a zero effective quota: 429497 gives 0. damos_quota_is_full() is
then true on the first test of every charge window. Other wrapped
values are wrong without being zero: 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. The scheme then makes no
progress for as long as the goal is unachieved, which is easy to
notice, and writing a smaller size quota restores it. Nothing is
corrupted and nothing leaks. This is unlikely to be hit on a tested
setup.
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.

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.
