Subject: [PATCH v7 07/14] rv: Introduce DA_MON_ALLOCATION_STRATEGY
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 03:39:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9c482459a4a23c5a240f1911259efcb54fa75898.1791745088.git.wen.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1791745088.git.wen.yang@linux.dev>
From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@linux.dev>
Per-object DA storage allocation is currently limited to kmalloc on
demand. Add a compile-time selector so monitors can choose among three
strategies:
DA_ALLOC_AUTO (default) - kmalloc per object on the monitor path
DA_ALLOC_POOL - pre-allocated fixed-size mempool;
selected by defining DA_MON_POOL_SIZE
DA_ALLOC_MANUAL - caller pre-inserts storage; framework
only links the target field
nomiss switches from the implicit DA_SKIP_AUTO_ALLOC override to an
explicit DA_MON_ALLOCATION_STRATEGY DA_ALLOC_MANUAL; the behaviours are
equivalent (pre-allocated storage, no allocation on the sched_switch
start path).
