Subject: [PATCH 10/10] selftets/damon/sysfs.py: pause DAMON before dumping status
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 11:13:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321181343.93971-11-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321181343.93971-1-sj@kernel.org>

The sysfs.py test commits DAMON parameters, dump the internal DAMON
state, and show if the parameters are committed as expected using the
dumped state.  While the dumping is ongoing, DAMON is alive.  It can
make internal changes including addition and removal of regions.  It can
therefore make a race that can result in false test results.  Pause
DAMON execution during the state dumping to avoid such races.
