[PATCH 5.15 061/171] mm/damon/core: fix fake load reports due to uninterruptible sleeps

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

 



From: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 70e9274805fccfd175d0431a947bfd11ee7df40e upstream.

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.
