Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm/damon/sysfs: propagate damon_call() error in turn_damon_on
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 08:15:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921151547.78472-3-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921151547.78472-1-sj@kernel.org>
From: Xuewen Wang <wangxuewen@kylinos.cn>
damon_sysfs_turn_damon_on() ignored the return value of damon_call()
for the repeat call control registration and always returned the stale
result of damon_start() (0 at that point). When damon_call() fails,
e.g., the kdamond is already exiting, the user still gets success from
the state file write while monitoring is not actually on.
Save and return the damon_call() result instead. No rollback of
damon_start() is needed since a failed damon_call() guarantees the
context is stopped.
