Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] mm/damon/core: use only installed probe in damon_merge_two_regions()
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 07:37:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102153753.97769-2-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102153753.97769-1-sj@kernel.org>
From: Suhaas Joshi <suhaas@s-joshi.in>
While merging 2 regions, we iterate over the entire probe_hits[] array,
whose size is determined by the DAMON_MAX_PROBES macro. However, it is
possible that we have fewer probes installed than DAMON_MAX_PROBES. In such
cases, we end up making redundant iterations. Therefore, to remedy this,
iterate over the list of installed probes instead of iterating over the
entire array. For doing this, start accepting a struct damon_ctx in
damon_merge_two_regions(), and update calling functions to pass this
argument.
Update the damon_test_merge_two() test to use this new signature for
damon_merge_two_regions() as well.
