The user impact is not critical. The failure of damon_split_region_at() is unlikely since it is arguably too small to fail. Also DAMOS being aggressive is limited to the single region. Users can set min_nr_regions to set the maximum size of each region. If it is reasonably set, the transient overhead shouldn't be critical.

2.47.3

The function for applying DAMOS_STAT in DAMON physical address space operation set (paddr), namely damon_pa_stat(), applies DAMOS filters to folios of the given region. For that, it gets folios of addresses in the region. It starts from the region start address and advances the address by the size of the folio of the address until it goes out of the region. If the start address is in the middle of a large folio, and if the next folios are small, some of the next folios could be skipped. Fix the issue by advancing the address to exactly the start address of the next folio.

The user impact is that the DAMOS_STAT-based page level monitoring results become inaccurate. Since the page level monitoring is supposed to provide relatively high precision, this is definitely a problem. It is arguably not critical since it is only monitoring quality degradation.

2.47.3

A few functions for applying DAMOS actions including pageout, lru_[de]prio and migrate_{hot,cold} in DAMON physical address space operation set (paddr) collect folios of the given region by getting the folios of region-internal addresses. Then, those functions apply the action to the collected folios at once. The collection starts from the region start address and advances the address by the size of the folio of the address until it goes out of the region. If the start address is in the middle of a large folio, and if the next folios are small, some of the next folios could be skipped. Fix the issue by advancing the address to exactly the start address of the next folio.

The user impact is that DAMOS action is applied to less than expected amount of memory. Given the best effort nature of DAMON, it is no big problem, but it is clearly a bug that is better to be fixed.

2.47.3

For applying DAMOS_STAT action to a region, DAMON virtual address space operation set (vaddr) calls walk_page_range[_vma]() for the region. The pmd walk entry function, namely damon_va_stat_pmd_entry(), applies DAMOS filters to folios of addresses of the region in the pmd. It starts from the walking address and advances the address by the size of the folio of the address until it goes out of the pmd or the region.

Let's suppose it is for the first pmd of the region, and the region start address is in the middle of a large folio. Also, the next folios are small. Then, some of the next folios could be skipped. Fix the issue by advancing the address to exactly the start address of the next folio.

The user impact is that the DAMOS_STAT-based page level monitoring results become inaccurate. Since the page level monitoring is supposed to provide relatively high precision, this is definitely a problem. It is arguably not critical since it is only monitoring quality degradation.

2.47.3

In an extreme and unlikely situation, si_meminfo_node() might let the caller show zero total ram. That could cause a divide by zero in damon_get_node_mem_bp(). It could also show free memory larger than the total memory. This could cause underflow and make DAMOS temporarily make unexpected behavior. Thanks to safety guards in the auto-tuning feedback loop, that should not be a real problem, though. Fix the problems by respectively returning 100% and 0% for used and free memory queries in the corner cases.

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.

damos_get_in_active_mem_bp() uses the sum of the active and inactive memory amount as a denominator. In an extreme and unlikely environment, active and inactive memory might be zero. In this case, hence, it results in a divide by zero problem. Avoid it by changing the denominator to one if it is zero, before it is being used.

I sent this series by a mistake. This has wrong cover letter. I will resent. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
