Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix refresh_ms control overwriting on
multi-kdamonds usages".
Automatic esssential DAMON/DAMOS status update feature of DAMON sysfs
interface (refresh_ms) is broken [1] for multiple DAMON contexts
(kdamonds) use case, since it uses a global single damon_call_control
object for all created DAMON contexts. The fields of the object,
particularly the list field is over-written for the contexts and it makes
unexpected results including user-space hangup and kernel crashes [2].
Fix it by extending damon_call_control for the use case and updating the
usage on DAMON sysfs interface to use per-context dynamically allocated
damon_call_control object.
This patch (of 2):
When damon_call_control->repeat is set, damon_call() is executed
asynchronously, and is eventually canceled when kdamond finishes. If the
damon_call_control object is dynamically allocated, finding the place to
deallocate the object is difficult. Introduce a new damon_call_control
field, namely dealloc_on_cancel, to ask the kdamond deallocates those
dynamically allocated objects when those are canceled.
