Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] mm/damon/core: fix unconditionally skip last region
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 02:28:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930092829.45885-1-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026092948-agency-overhand-3fd1@gregkh>

From: Liew Rui Yan <aethernet65535@gmail.com>

Once quota set, the charge_{target,addr}_from unconditionally skips and
resets at the last region of the tracked target, so the last region can be
skipped even when it has not been processed.

Example:

    1. Target has 2 regions: R1 (0-100 bytes) and R2 (100-200 bytes).
    2. Quota is configured to process only 100 bytes per window.
    3. Window 1: Processes R1 (0-100).  Quota is full.  charge_{target,
       addr}_from is saved at (Target, 100).
    4. Window 2: The loop reaches R2.  Because R2 is
       damon_last_region(t), the old code unconditionally returns true,
       skipping R2 entirely and resetting the charge_{target,addr}_from.

    Result: R2 is permanently skipped even though it has never been
    processed.

However, it is important to note that this is a very minor issue.  This is
because it is triggered only when the previous window saved/kept
charge_{target,addr}_from, and in the next window, all regions except the
last region were skipped by damos_skip_charged_region().

Fix this by only resetting the charge_{target,addr}_from when last region
is reached, only skipping when it is applied or cannot split.
