Subject: mm/damon/core: allow esz to be set to zero
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 06:54:11 -0700

When the temporal quota goal tuner determines that the goal has been achieved (score >= 10000), it sets esz_bp to zero so that the esz becomes zero. However, damos_set_effective_quota() clamps the esz to min_region_sz when quota->ms is set.

This is a minor issue, the main problem is that it doesn't match the description in the documentation, which state that if the goal has already been [over-]achieved, the quota will be set to zero.

Fix this by set quota (esz) as minimum as possible.

Fixes 8bbde987c2b8 ("mm/damon/core: disallow time-quota setting zero esz")
