[PATCH v3 0/2] mm/damon/core: preserve quota state when constructing schemes

[SJ Park <sj@kernel.org>]

From: Karl Mehltretter <kmehltretter@gmail.com>

damon_commit_ctx() first commits the running context's parameters to a
temporary context for validating proposed updates. Constructing the
temporary schemes clears the running schemes' quota state because
damon_new_scheme() initializes the quota passed as a parameter before
copying it to the new scheme. Even an update later rejected with -EINVAL
loses the running quota state.

Initialize the new scheme's copy instead, and add KUnit tests for the
constructor and for accepted and rejected context updates.

Note: below are test results and changelogs that could be removed from
the final commit log.

In the v1 live test with damo, a scheme with a plain 64 KiB size quota and
a 60-second reset interval uses its quota, and a full "damo tune" with
unchanged parameters then lets it try another 64 KiB within the same
window. With the fix, sz_tried stays at 64 KiB.

KUnit was rerun after the rebase on x86-64 and i386. With only patch 2
applied, the two new tests fail. With the fix, all 46 DAMON KUnit tests
pass on both architectures.

The v1 DAMON selftests showed no new failures (QEMU TCG guest; the
wss_estimation test missed its accuracy bounds with and without the fix).
