Subject: [PATCH v3] mm/damon: add KUnit test for walk_control_obsolete behavior
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 11:53:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612062337.2459-1-saileshnandanavanam@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260524100258.36819-1-saileshnandanavanam@gmail.com>
Add a KUnit test to verify that damos_walk() rejects
new requests when walk_control_obsolete is set.
Commit 33c3f6c2b48c ("mm/damon/core: fix damos_walk() vs
kdamond_fn() exit race") introduced walk_control_obsolete
to prevent a race condition where new requests could be
registered during kdamond shutdown and never handled.
This test simulates the shutdown condition by setting
walk_control_obsolete and verifies that damos_walk()
returns -ECANCELED immediately.
This validates the invariant introduced by the fix and
helps prevent regressions.

Changes since v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/20260524100258.36819-1-saileshnandanavanam@gmail.com):
- Dropped the userspace selftest approach entirely. SeongJae tested
v2 100 times on a kernel with the fix reverted and it always
passed, confirming the microsecond-wide race window cannot be
reliably hit from userspace due to syscall overhead.
- Added a KUnit test for damos_walk() + walk_control_obsolete
instead, as suggested by SeongJae. This directly sets the
obsolete flag and verifies damos_walk() returns -ECANCELED
immediately, without timing dependency.
Changes since v1 (https://lore.kernel.org/20260524091812.35283-1-saileshnandanavanam@gmail.com):
- Addressed sashiko bot review comments (execute bit, threading,
dynamic sysfs path, OSError handling) - superseded by the v3
approach above.
