Subject: [PATCH 6/7] selftests/damon: prevent remaining cross-object state pollution
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 07:26:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831142611.77572-7-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831142611.77572-1-sj@kernel.org>
From: zhaozhengzhuo <zhaozhengzhuo@uniontech.com>
_damon_sysfs.py defines constructors with mutable default arguments,
including DamosAccessPattern(), DamosQuota(), DamosWatermarks(),
DamosDests(), IntervalsGoal(), and empty lists.
Default arguments are evaluated once at function definition time.
Damos() instances created without explicit arguments therefore share
the same DamosQuota(), and the other default-constructed sub-objects
and lists are shared in the same way. The sub-objects keep
back-pointers to their owner scheme, so constructing the second Damos()
rebinds the shared quota's scheme pointer to the second object. An
item appended to one object's default contexts or filters list is also
visible from other default-constructed objects.
The shared state can corrupt test configurations. DamosQuota.sysfs_dir()
derives the sysfs directory from its scheme pointer, so operating on
the first scheme's default quota may write to the second scheme's
directory. The wrong values often match the defaults, so tests still
pass, but the behavior depends on object creation order.
Commit 8319dadcbd81 ("selftests/damon: prevent cross-context state
pollution in DamonCtx") fixed the same pattern in DamonCtx only. Fix
the remaining constructors by defaulting to None and creating fresh
objects or lists inside each constructor. Explicit arguments keep
their previous behavior.
