DAMON_LRU_SORT lets users set the target value for the hot memory\nscheme via active_mem_bp parameter.  It avoids setting it as the target\nvalue if the parameter value is zero.  However, it also sets the cold\nmemory scheme with a target value that is calculated as '10000 -\nactive_mem_bp + 2'.  Hence, if a user sets active_mem_bp 10002, the cold\nmemory scheme's quota goal target value can be zero.  As a result,\ndivision by zero can be triggered.  Fix by returning an error when the\nuser tries to start DAMON with >10000 active_mem_bp parameter value.\n\nIt makes no sense to set active_mem_bp with 10002.  It also requires\nmodule parameters write permission to reproduce the issue.  That said, the\nconsequence is quite bad.\n\nOne reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below:\n\n    # cd /sys/module/damon_lru_sort/parameters\n    # echo 1000 > wmarks_high\n    # echo 995 > wmarks_mid\n    # echo 0 > wmarks_low\n    # echo 10002 > active_mem_bp\n    # echo Y > enabled\n    # dmesg -w\n    [...]\n    [  597.421247] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI\n    [  597.428848] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480\n\nThis issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
