[PATCH v1 1/2] mm/damon/core: charge only the part of a region the filter left
From: Donggeun Yoo
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 20:36:18 EST
An address range DAMOS filter that partially overlaps a monitoring
region splits the region at the filter boundary, so the scheme action is
applied to only one side of it. damos_apply_scheme() reads the region
size once on entry, before damos_core_filter_out() performs that split.
The quota charge and the statistics update therefore account for the
region as it was before the trim. schemes/<S>/stats/sz_tried counts
memory the filter excluded, which Documentation/mm/damon/design.rst says
is not counted as tried, and with quotas/bytes set the excluded part is
charged against the budget, throttling the scheme to a fraction of what
was configured.
Re-read the region size after the core filters have run.

KUnit, mm/damon/tests, x86_64, with patch 2 applied to both trees:
without patch 1 36/38 damos_test_apply_scheme_filtered_sz and
damos_test_apply_scheme_filter_sz_unchanged fail
with patch 1 38/38
Expected s->stat.sz_tried == 2 * min_sz, but
s->stat.sz_tried == 16384 (0x4000)
2 * min_sz == 8192 (0x2000)
All 15 DAMON selftests pass with the series applied, in a QEMU guest booted
with slab_nomerge and CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, the latter so drgn could run two of
them. sysfs_update_schemes_tried_regions_wss_estimation.py and
damos_quota.py are timing sensitive and have each failed intermittently on
both patched and unpatched trees over 15 runs.
One path is not covered by patch 2: the quota split failing at
damon_split_region_at(). A KUnit case cannot make that allocation fail. The
sibling exit, a quota remainder below one region, is covered and reaches the
same update_stat label.
