When wrong scheme action is requested via the debugfs interface, DAMON prints an error message. Because the function returns error code, this is not really needed. Because the code path is triggered by the user specified input, this can result in kernel log mistakenly being messy.
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
