Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 2/4] mm/damon: fix esz=0 quota bypass allowing unlimited migration
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:32:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223123232.12851-3-ravis.opensrc@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260223123232.12851-1-ravis.opensrc@gmail.com>
When the TEMPORAL goal tuner sets esz_bp=0 to signal that a goal has
been achieved, the quota check was not actually stopping migration.
The condition:
if (quota->esz && quota->charged_sz >= quota->esz)
When esz=0, this evaluates to (false && ...) = false, so the continue
is never executed and migration proceeds without limit.
Change the logic to:
if (!quota->esz || quota->charged_sz >= quota->esz)
Now when esz=0, (!0 = true) causes the continue to execute, properly
stopping migration when the goal is achieved.
This is critical for the TEMPORAL tuner to work correctly - without
this fix, setting esz=0 has no effect and migration continues until
all hot memory is moved, overshooting the target goal.
