SJ Park b585facbaf mm/damon/core: validate ranges in damon_set_regions()
commit 1292c0ecb1 upstream.

DAMON core logic assumes zero length regions don't exist.  However, a few
DAMON API callers including DAMON_SYSFS, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT
allow users to set empty monitoring target regions.  This could result in
WARN_ONCE() on CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY enabled kernel, and
divide-by-zero from damon_merge_two_regions().

For example, the WANR_ONCE() can be triggered like below.

    # grep DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY /boot/config-$(uname -r)
    # CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y
    # damo start
    # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0
    # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/start
    # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/end
    # echo commit > state
    # dmesg
    [....]
    [   73.705780] ------------[ cut here ]------------
    [   73.707552] start 0 >= end 0
    [   73.708452] WARNING: mm/damon/core.c:359 at damon_new_region+0x6e/0x80, CPU#1: kdamond.0/758
    [...]

All DAMON API callers eventually use damon_set_regions() to setup the
regions.  Add the validation logic in the function.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
