Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/damon/Kconfig: enable CONFIG_DAMON by default
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 21:27:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250521042755.39653-3-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250521042755.39653-1-sj@kernel.org>
As of this writing, multiple major distros including Alma, Amazon,
Android, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Oracle are build-enabling DAMON
(set CONFIG_DAMON[1]). Enabling it by default will save configuration
setup time for the current and future DAMON users.
Build-enabling DAMON does not introduce a real risk since it makes no
behavioral change by default. It requires explicit user requests to do
anything. Only one potential risk is making the size of the kernel a
little bit larger. On a production-purpose configuration, it increases
the resulting kernel package size by about 0.1 % of the final package
file. I believe that's too small to be a real problem in common setups.
Hence, the benefit of enabling CONFIG_DAMON outweighs the potential
risk. Set CONFIG_DAMON by default.
