Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] mm: memcontrol: fix unexpected massive positive number in memcg_state_val_in_pages()
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 22:13:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e19052a28a7b604c012bfdfc900fd09543976284.1774447069.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1774447069.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>

In memcg_state_val_in_pages(), if the passed val is negative, the
expression val * unit / PAGE_SIZE could be implicitly converted to a
massive positive number when compared with 1UL in the max() macro.
This leads to returning an incorrect massive positive value.

Fix this by using abs(val) to calculate the magnitude first, and then
restoring the sign of the value before returning the result. Additionally,
use mult_frac() to prevent potential overflow during the multiplication of
val and unit.
