The kdamond can, however, be stopped even if the user explicitly requested the stop, if ctx->regions_score_histogram allocation failure at beginning of the execution of the kdamond. Hence, if the kdamond is stopped by the allocation failure, the value of the parameter can be stale. Users could show the stale value and be confused. The problem will only rarely happen in real and common setups because the allocation is arguably too small to fail. Also, unlike the similar bugs that are now fixed in DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT, kdamond can be restarted in this case, because DAMON_STAT force-updates the enabled parameter value for user inputs. The bug is a bug, though. The issue stems from the fact that there are multiple events that can change the status, and following all the events is challenging. Dynamically detect and use the fresh status for the parameters when those are requested.
