Title
mm/damon/ops-common: handle extreme intervals in damon_hot_score()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/ops-common: handle extreme intervals in damon_hot_score()
Fix three issues in damon_hot_score() that comes from wrong handling of
extreme (zero or too high) monitoring intervals user setup.
When the user sets sampling interval zero, damon_max_nr_accesses(), which
is called from damon_hot_score(), causes a divide-by-zero. Needless to
say, it is a problem.
When the user sets the aggregation interval zero, the function returns
zero. It is wrong, since the real maximum nr_acceses in the setup should
be one. Worse yet, it can cause another divide-by-zero from its caller,
damon_hot_score(), since it uses damon_max_nr_accesses() return value as a
denominator.
When the user sets the aggregation interval very high, damon_hot_score()
could return a value out of [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] range. Since the return
value is used as an index to the regions_score_histogram array, which is
DAMOS_MAX_SCORE+1 size, it causes out of bounds array access.
The issues can be relatively easily reproduced like below. The sysfs
write permission is required, though.
# ./damo start --damos_action lru_prio --damos_quota_space 100M \
--damos_quota_interval 1s
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0
# echo 0 > contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/sample_us
# echo 0 > contexts/0/monitoring_attrs/intervals/aggr_us

# dmesg
[...]
[ 131.329762] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
[...]
[ 131.336089] RIP: 0010:damon_hot_score+0x27/0xd0
[...]
Fix the divide-by-zero intervals problems by explicitly handling the zero
intervals in damon_max_nr_accesses(). Fix the out-of-bound array access
by applying [0, DAMOS_MAX_SCORE] bounds before returning from
damon_hot_score().
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
