[RFC PATCH v1.1 8/9] mm/damon/core: handle extreme memory state in get_node_memcg_used_bp()

From: SJ Park

Date: Sun Aug 02 2026 - 12:28:34 EST


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
returning 100% and 0% for the two cases, respectively.

This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
