[PATCH 0/2] mm/damon: fix the temporal goal tuner's size quota conversion
From: Donggeun Yoo
Date: Sat Sep 19 2026 - 03:13:47 EST
damos_goal_tune_esz_bp_temporal() hands the size quota to
damos_set_effective_quota() through quota->esz_bp in basis points, and the
multiply that gets it there is unchecked. On 32-bit it wraps from 429497
bytes on, and wraps to exactly zero at the 1 GiB that
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage.rst uses as its example, since
1 GiB * 10000 is 2500 * 2^32. A zero effective quota makes
damos_quota_is_full() true on the first test of every charge window, so the
scheme applies nothing for as long as the goal is unachieved.
Patch 1 saturates the conversion. Patch 2 pins the boundary in the core
kunit suite, where it fails without patch 1 on any word size.
DAMON kunit: 36 tests, all passing with both patches; 35 passing and
damos_test_esz_goal_temporal failing with patch 2 alone. The DAMON
selftests do not reach the changed function: a build with a print at its
entry stayed silent through all fifteen of them and fired as soon as a
scheme was configured with the temporal tuner.
