Completely correct, but there will also be a problem that users can’t quickly locate where the problem is, Especially too many parameters need to be written into the interface. I think it is necessary to add some debugging methods to help users find the error without polluting the kernel log. And i have an idea, like this: in dbgfs, add a last_cmd_stat interface.     # echo "1 2 1 2 1 2  1 2 1 2 100 ..."  > schemes     #  cat last_cmd_stat     #  wrong action 100 In this way, on the one hand, it will not pollute the kernel log, on the other hand, it will help users find  the cause of the operation interface error. Park, how do you think of about this idea, if ok, i will send a patch. > To avoid the case, this commit removes the message > > Fixes: af122dd8f3c0 ("mm/damon/dbgfs: support DAMON-based Operation Schemes") > Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park > --- > mm/damon/dbgfs.c | 4 +--- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/mm/damon/dbgfs.c b/mm/damon/dbgfs.c > index 4bf4204444ab..5b628990ae6e 100644 > --- a/mm/damon/dbgfs.c > +++ b/mm/damon/dbgfs.c > @@ -210,10 +210,8 @@ static struct damos **str_to_schemes(const char *str, ssize_t len, > &wmarks.low, &parsed); > if (ret != 18) > break; > - if (!damos_action_valid(action)) { > - pr_err("wrong action %d\n", action); > + if (!damos_action_valid(action)) > goto fail; > - } > > if (min_sz > max_sz || min_nr_a > max_nr_a || min_age > max_age) > goto fail; -- Best Regards!
