Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/7] mm/damon: integrate observe API into vaddr overflow handlers and core drain
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:10:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818061031.827057-5-kunwu.chan@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818061031.827057-1-kunwu.chan@linux.dev>

From: Kunwu Chan <kunwu.chan@gmail.com>

Wire the observe_*() calls into the DAMON hot paths: vaddr access-check
overflow handlers report into the per-CPU ring, and the kdamond drain
matches each report against the target whose tgid owns it.  The observe
calls are pure side-effect statistics (no-ops under
CONFIG_DAMON_PERF_OBSERVE=n), so the switch never changes DAMON matching
semantics.  The vaddr teardown frees the per-event cpu_state array.

Read ring->tail once with READ_ONCE in damon_report_access() and reuse
the cached value for the peak-occupancy estimate, avoiding a torn read
and a compiler reload on the producer side.
