Subject: mm/damon/core: always update ->last_nr_accesses for intervals change
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:07:56 -0700

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.
