The patch titled Subject: mm/damon/dbgfs: add adaptive_targets list check before enable monitor_on has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-damon-dbgfs-add-adaptive_targets-list-check-before-enable-monitor_on.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-damon-dbgfs-add-adaptive_targets-list-check-before-enable-monitor_on.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-damon-dbgfs-add-adaptive_targets-list-check-before-enable-monitor_on.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Xin Hao <xhao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/damon/dbgfs: add adaptive_targets list check before enable monitor_on When the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, I did some test on monitor_on interface like this. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/damon/target_ids # # echo on > /sys/kernel/debug/damon/monitor_on # damon: kdamond (5390) starts Though the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, but the kthread_run still be called, and the kdamond.x thread still be created, this is meaningless. So there adds a judgment in 'dbgfs_monitor_on_write', if the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, return -EINVAL.
