Hi SeongJae,
Thank you for the detailed explaination and for pointing out the
'PAGE_SIZE' limitation. You are right; and I should have accounted for
that.
However, I performend further testing to address your confusion
regarding kdamond's termination. My patch didn't fix anything.
Here is my reproduction:
# Log (Both with and without this patch):
# cd /sys/module/damon_lru_sort/parameters/
# echo Y > enabled
# echo 3 > addr_unit
# ps aux | rg "[k]damond"
root 71 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? I 22:26 0:00 [kdamond.0]
# echo Y > commit_inputs
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat kdamond_pid
71
# ps aux | rg "[k]damond"
# ... kdamond terminated
I am very sorry for the noise caused by my misunderstanding of the
sashiko review.
The real question I am facing now is:
Should kdamond terminate itself when damon_commit_ctx() fails due to
invalid user inputs?
Best regards,
Rui Yan
