When kdamond_fn() main loop is finished, the function cancels remaining
damos_walk() request and unset the damon_ctx->kdamond so that API callers
and API functions themselves can show the context is terminated.
damos_walk() adds the caller's request to the queue first. After that, it
shows if the kdamond of the damon_ctx is still running (damon_ctx->kdamond
is set). Only if the kdamond is running, damos_walk() starts waiting for
the kdamond's handling of the newly added request.
The damos_walk() requests registration and damon_ctx->kdamond unset are
protected by different mutexes, though. Hence, damos_walk() could race
with damon_ctx->kdamond unset, and result in deadlocks.
For example, let's suppose kdamond successfully finished the damow_walk()
request cancelling. Right after that, damos_walk() is called for the
context. It registers the new request, and shows the context is still
running, because damon_ctx->kdamond unset is not yet done. Hence the
damos_walk() caller starts waiting for the handling of the request.
However, the kdamond is already on the termination steps, so it never
handles the new request. As a result, the damos_walk() caller thread
infinitely waits.
Fix this by introducing another damon_ctx field, namely
walk_control_obsolete. It is protected by the
damon_ctx->walk_control_lock, which protects damos_walk() request
registration. Initialize (unset) it in kdamond_fn() before letting
damon_start() returns and set it just before the cancelling of the
remaining damos_walk() request is executed. damos_walk() reads the
obsolete field under the lock and avoids adding a new request.
After this change, only requests that are guaranteed to be handled or
cancelled are registered. Hence the after-registration DAMON context
termination check is no longer needed. Remove it together.
