Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
samples/damon/mtier: error out for zero quota goal target values
Patch series "mm/damon: avoid division by zero from damos_quota_score()".
DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow the user to trigger division
by zero in damos_quota_score(). Avoid it by adding parameters validation
checks.
This patch (of 2):
damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target_value is
zero. DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER lets users set the target_value via
node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameters. It doesn't guard zero value case,
though. As a result, users can trigger division by zero. Fix the issue
by returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with zero
node0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameter values.
DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER is just a sample module, but the consequence is quite
bad. Also the zero node0_mem_free_bp parameter might look like a
reasonable setup to some users. Hence, the issue might really happen in
the real wo
