Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/core: Avoid fake load reports due to uninterruptible sleeps
Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2021 14:52:19 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211124145219.32866-1-sj@kernel.org> (raw)

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.

Fixes: 2224d8485492 ("mm: introduce Data Access MONitor (DAMON)")
Reported-by: Oleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@natalenko.name>
Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 5.15.x

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.
