mm/damon: move sz_damon_region to damon_sz_region

2022-10-13T01:51:49Z

Rename sz_damon_region() to damon_sz_region(), and move it to "include/linux/damon.h", because in many places, we can to use this func.

mm/damon: deduplicate damon_{reclaim,lru_sort}_apply_parameters()

2022-10-03T21:03:31Z

The bodies of damon_{reclaim,lru_sort}_apply_parameters() contain duplicates. This commit adds a common function damon_set_region_biggest_system_ram_default() to remove the duplicates.

mm/damon: return void from damon_set_schemes()

2022-10-03T21:03:27Z

There is no point in returning an int from damon_set_schemes(). It always returns 0 which is meaningless for the caller, so change it to return void directly.

mm/damon: use 'struct damon_target ' instead of 'void ' in target_valid()

2022-10-03T21:03:26Z

We could use 'struct damon_target *' directly instead of 'void *' in target_valid() operation to make code simple. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1663241621-13293-1-git-send-email-kaixuxia@tencent.com Signed-off-by: Kaixu Xia Reviewed-by: SeongJae Park Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

mm/damon/core: reduce parameters for damon_set_attrs()

2022-10-03T21:03:10Z

Number of parameters for 'damon_set_attrs()' is six. As it could be confusing and verbose, this commit reduces the number by receiving single pointer to a 'struct damon_attrs'.

mm/damon/core: use a dedicated struct for monitoring attributes

2022-10-03T21:03:10Z

DAMON monitoring attributes are directly defined as fields of 'struct damon_ctx'. This makes 'struct damon_ctx' a little long and complicated. This commit defines and uses a struct, 'struct damon_attrs', which is dedicated for only the monitoring attributes to make the purpose of the five values clearer and simplify 'struct damon_ctx'.

mm/damon: remove duplicate get_monitoring_region() definitions

2022-10-03T21:03:08Z

In lru_sort.c and reclaim.c, they are all defining get_monitoring_region() function, there is no need to define it separately. As 'get_monitoring_region()' is not a 'static' function anymore, we try to use a prefix to distinguish with other functions, so there rename it to 'damon_find_biggest_system_ram'.

damon_new_scheme() has too many parameters, so introduce struct damos_access_pattern to simplify it. In additon, we can't use a bpf trace kprobe that has more than 5 parameters.

mm/damon/core: iterate the regions list from current point in damon_set_regions()

2022-10-03T21:03:03Z

We iterate the whole regions list every time to get the first/last regions intersecting with the specific range in damon_set_regions(), in order to add new region or resize existing regions to fit in the specific range. Actually, it is unnecessary to iterate the new added regions and the front regions that have been checked. Just iterate the regions list from the current point using list_for_each_entry_from() every time to improve performance.

mm/damon/schemes: add 'LRU_DEPRIO' action

2022-07-04T01:08:43Z

This commit adds a new DAMON-based operation scheme action called 'LRU_DEPRIO' for physical address space. The action deprioritizes pages in the memory area of the target access pattern on their LRU lists. This is hence supposed to be used for rarely accessed (cold) memory regions so that cold pages could be more likely reclaimed first under memory pressure. Internally, it simply calls 'lru_deactivate()'. Using this with 'LRU_PRIO' action for hot pages, users can proactively sort LRU lists based on the access pattern. That is, it can make the LRU lists somewhat more trustworthy source of access temperature. As a result, efficiency of LRU-lists based mechanisms including the reclamation target selection could be improved.
