Subject: [RFC v3] mm/damon: add synchronous commit for commit_inputs
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:15:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322231522.32700-1-aethernet65535@gmail.com> (raw)
Problem
=======
Writing invalid parameters to sysfs followed by 'commit_inputs=Y' fails
silently (no error returned to shell), because the validation happens
asynchronously in the kdamond.
Solution
========
To fix this, the commit_inputs_store() callback now uses damon_call() to
synchronously commit parameters in the kdamond thread's safe context.
This ensures that validation errors are returned immediately to
userspace, following the pattern used by DAMON_SYSFS.
Changes
=======
1. Added commit_inputs_store() and commit_inputs_fn() to commit
synchronously.
This change is motivated from another discussion [1].

Changes from RFC-v2:
- Removed damon_validate_attrs(), now using damon_commit_ctx() for
synchronous validation in the kdamond context.
- Following DAMON_SYSFS pattern for synchronous commit via damon_call().
- Link to RFC-v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20260321140926.22163-1-aethernet65535@gmail.com
Changes from RFC-v1:
- Remove question from commit message area.
- Added synchronous validation for DAMON_RECLAIM.
- Rename damon_valid_attrs() -> damon_validate_attrs().
- Exported a new function damon_validate_attrs() and declared it in
damon.h.
