[PATCH] mm/damon/core: add short circuit for esz<min_region_sz in damos_adjust_quota()

From: Liew Rui Yan

Date: Sun Sep 13 2026 - 07:04:12 EST


After damos_set_effective_quota(), the effective size quota may be lower
than min_region_sz (e.g., when the temporal quota goal is
[over-]achieved).

In this situation, damos_adjust_quota() will still calculates
quota->min_score. However, this min_score will not be used in this
window, because in damon_do_apply_schemes(), damos_quota_is_full() will
always returns true, preventing the scheme from being applied to any
region.

Therefore, add a short circuit for 'esz < min_region_sz' schemes to
early return from damos_adjust_quota() before calculating min_score.

Changes from RFC v1:
- RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/damon/20260912124406.96535-1-aethernet65535@xxxxxxxxx
- Make patch more complete by covering 'esz < min_region_sz' instead of
covering "temporal quota goal is [over-]achieved" only.
