Subject: [PATCH 03/18] mm/damon/core: always update ->last_nr_accesses for intervals change
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:07:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630040812.149729-4-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260630040812.149729-1-sj@kernel.org>
Each iteration of kdamond_fn() main loop caches and use the next
aggregation time (next_aggregation_sis) because it can be updated in the
middle, inside kdamond_call(). If that happens,
damon_update_monitoring_result() is called for scaling the access
frequency information of each region according to the changed intervals.
The function does not update damon_region->last_nr_accesses when it is
at the end of the aggregation, because it will anyway be reset after the
function is executed, in kdamond_reset_aggregated().
Let's suppose damon_nr_accesses_mvsum() is called with the not yet
updated last_nr_accesses. It will use the fresh next_aggregation_sis in
the context instead of the cached one, unlike kdamond_fn(). As a
result, use of not updated last_nr_acceses with the updated
next_aggregation_sis result in returning wrong value.
There is no such damon_nr_accesses_nvsum() call at the moment, so this
is no problem. It is planned to add such calls, though. Prevent the
issue by updating last_nr_accesses always. This adds overhead, but
that's fine because the overhead is not big, and it is anyway not a fast
path.
