The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon/core: handle zero schemes apply interval has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-core-handle-zero-schemes-apply-interval.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Subject: mm/damon/core: handle zero schemes apply interval Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 11:37:57 -0700

DAMON's logics to determine if this is the time to apply damos schemes assumes next_apply_sis is always set larger than current passed_sample_intervals. And therefore assume continuously incrementing passed_sample_intervals will make it reaches to the next_apply_sis in future. The logic hence does apply the scheme and update next_apply_sis only if passed_sample_intervals is same to next_apply_sis.

If Schemes apply interval is set as zero, however, next_apply_sis is set same to current passed_sample_intervals, respectively. And passed_sample_intervals is incremented before doing the next_apply_sis check. Hence, next_apply_sis becomes larger than next_apply_sis, and the logic says it is not the time to apply schemes and update next_apply_sis. In other words, DAMON stops applying schemes until passed_sample_intervals overflows.

Based on the documents and the common sense, a reasonable behavior for such inputs would be applying the schemes for every sampling interval. Handle the case by removing the assumption.
