[Andrew Morton]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: add KUnit test for walk_control_obsolete behavior
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-damon-tests-core-kunit-add-kunit-test-for-walk_control_obsolete-behavior.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-damon-tests-core-kunit-add-kunit-test-for-walk_control_obsolete-behavior.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take

Subject: mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: add KUnit test for walk_control_obsolete behavior
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 07:55:36 -0700

Add a KUnit test to verify that damos_walk() rejects new requests when
walk_control_obsolete is set.

Commit 33c3f6c2b48c ("mm/damon/core: fix damos_walk() vs kdamond_fn() exit
race") introduced walk_control_obsolete to prevent a race condition where
new requests could be registered during kdamond shutdown and never
handled.

This test simulates the shutdown condition by setting
walk_control_obsolete and verifies that damos_walk() returns -ECANCELED
immediately.

This validates the invariant introduced by the fix and helps prevent
regressions.
