Avoid it by adding parameters validation\nchecks.\n\n\nThis patch (of 2):\n\ndamos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target_value is\nzero.  DAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER lets users set the target_value via\nnode0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameters.  It doesn't guard zero value case,\nthough.  As a result, users can trigger division by zero.  Fix the issue\nby returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with zero\nnode0_mem_{used,free}_bp parameter values.\n\nDAMON_SAMPLE_MTIER is just a sample module, but the consequence is quite\nbad.  Also the zero node0_mem_free_bp parameter might look like a\nreasonable setup to some users.  Hence, the issue might really happen in\nthe real world.\n\nOne reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below:\n\n    # cd /sys/module/damon_sample_mtier/parameters\n    # echo 4096 > node0_start_addr\n    # echo 8192 > node0_end_addr\n    # echo 8192 > node1_start_addr\n    # echo 81920 > node1_end_addr\n    # echo 0 > node0_mem_free_bp\n    # echo Y > enabled\n    # dmesg -w\n    [...]\n    [18792.235916] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI\n    [...]\n    [18792.242787] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480\n    [...]\n\nThis issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko."
