Message-ID: <20261007005245.163621F0089C@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/damon/core: keep the temporal tuner quota over an unmeasured PSI round
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-damon-core-handle-uninitialized-damos_quota_goal-last_psi_total-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/damon/core: keep the temporal tuner quota over an unmeasured PSI round
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 22:51:37 -0700
The patch in mm-unstable of subject "mm/damon/core: handle uninitialized
damos_quota_goal->last_psi_total" scores a PSI quota goal without a
previous sample as achieved. This leaves the consist tuner's input
unchanged, but the temporal tuner sets its quota to zero for an achieved
goal. A running scheme with a nonzero temporal quota therefore loses a
charge window after a quota-goal commit.
Use the effective quota to preserve the temporal tuner's previous
goal-achievement state during an unmeasured round, as SJ suggested [1].
Score the goal as achieved when the effective quota is zero and as not
achieved otherwise. A new scheme's initially zero quota stays zero, and
the consist tuner's behavior is unchanged.
Move the PSI current-value calculation and last_psi_total update into a
helper that takes the current PSI total. This lets a unit test cover the
unmeasured and measured rounds without depending on system memory
pressure.
