The patch titled Subject: mm/damon/dbgfs: add adaptive_targets list check before enable monitor_on has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-dbgfs-add-adaptive_targets-list-check-before-enable-monitor_on.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
