------------------------------------------------------ From: SeongJae Park sj@kernel.org Subject: mm/damon/core: use damos_commit_quota_goal() for new goal commit Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 17:18:44 -0700
When damos_commit_quota_goals() is called for adding new DAMOS quota goals of DAMOS_QUOTA_USER_INPUT metric, current_value fields of the new goals should be also set as requested.
However, damos_commit_quota_goals() is not updating the field for the case, since it is setting only metrics and target values using damos_new_quota_goal(), and metric-optional union fields using damos_commit_quota_goal_union(). As a result, users could see the first current_value parameter that committed online with a new quota goal is ignored. Users are assumed to commit the current_value for DAMOS_QUOTA_USER_INPUT quota goals, since it is being used as a feedback. Hence the real impact would be subtle. That said, this is obviously not intended behavior.
Fix the issue by using damos_commit_quota_goal() which sets all quota goal parameters, instead of damos_commit_quota_goal_union(), which sets only the union fields.
