[PATCH] mm/damon/core: Avoid fake load reports due to uninterruptible sleeps

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Because DAMON sleeps in uninterruptible mode, /proc/loadavg reports fake
load while DAMON is turned on, though it is doing nothing.  This can
confuse users[1].  To avoid the case, this commit makes DAMON sleeps in
idle mode.

I think this needs to be applied on v5.15.y, but this cannot cleanly
applied there as is.  I will back-port this on v5.15.y and post later
once this is merged in the mainline.
