Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y v2 2/2] mm/damon/core: fix unconditionally skip last region
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 07:48:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009144808.18317-3-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009144808.18317-1-sj@kernel.org>
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.
