[PATCH 1/3] mm/damon/ops-common: fix age_in_sec overflow on 32-bit
From: SJ Park
Date: Tue Oct 06 2026 - 02:52:30 EST
From: Jaeyeon Lee <jaeyeon.lee.dev@xxxxxxxxx>
damon_hot_score() calculates the age of a region by multiplying r->age
and the aggregation interval. On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long
is 32 bits, so the multiplication overflows once the age exceeds about
4295 seconds. Then old regions are scored as if they were young.
Fix it by doing the calculation in 64-bit arithmetic using div_u64().
Also make age_in_sec u64, so the result is not truncated back to 32
bits.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
