Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/damon/core: keep the temporal tuner quota over an unmeasured PSI round
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 04:00:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921020013.33105-2-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921020013.33105-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com>
Commit b73198a47ffe ("mm/damon/core: handle uninitialized
damos_quota_goal->last_psi_total") scores a PSI quota goal without a
previous sample as achieved. This leaves the consist tuner's input
unchanged, but the temporal tuner sets its quota to zero for an achieved
goal. A running scheme with a nonzero temporal quota therefore loses a
charge window after a quota-goal commit.
Use the effective quota to preserve the temporal tuner's previous
goal-achievement state during an unmeasured round, as SJ suggested [1].
Score the goal as achieved when the effective quota is zero and as not
achieved otherwise. A new scheme's initially zero quota stays zero, and
the consist tuner's behavior is unchanged.
Move the PSI current-value calculation and last_psi_total update into a
helper that takes the current PSI total. This lets a unit test cover the
unmeasured and measured rounds without depending on system memory
pressure.
