[RFC PATCH] mm/damon/core: avoid overflow in damon_feed_loop_next_input()

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 13:24:16 EST


damon_feed_loop_next_input() is fragile to overflows. Rewrite code to
avoid overflows. This is not yet well tested on 32bit archs.

Reported-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/944f3d5b-9177-48e7-8ec9-7f1331a3fea3@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes: 9294a037c015 ("mm/damon/core: implement goal-oriented feedback-driven quota auto-tuning")

As mentioned on the commit message, this is not yet sufficiently tested
on 32bit machines. That's why this is RFC.
