mm/damon: update comments in damon.h for damon_attrs

2023-02-03T06:33:25Z

Patch series "mm/damon: misc fixes". This patchset contains three miscellaneous simple fixes for DAMON online tuning. This patch (of 3): Commit cbeaa77b0449 ("mm/damon/core: use a dedicated struct for monitoring attributes") moved monitoring intervals from damon_ctx to a new struct, damon_attrs, but a comment in the header file has not updated for the change. Update it.

mm/damon/core: implement damos filter

2023-01-19T01:12:43Z

Patch series "implement DAMOS filtering for anon pages and/or specific memory cgroups" DAMOS let users do system operations in a data access pattern oriented way. The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat accurate more than what user space could know in many cases. However, in some situation, users could know something more than the kernel about the pattern or some special requirements for some types of memory or processes. For example, some users would have slow swap devices and knows latency-ciritical processes and therefore want to use DAMON-based proactive reclamation (DAMON_RECLAIM) for only non-anonymous pages of non-latency-critical processes. For such restriction, users could exclude the memory regions from the initial monitoring regions and use non-dynamic monitoring regions update monitoring operations set including fvaddr and paddr. They could also adjust the DAMOS target access pattern. For dynamically changing memory layout and access pattern, those would be not enough. To help the case, add an interface, namely DAMOS filters, which can be used to avoid the DAMOS actions be applied to specific types of memory, to DAMON kernel API (damon.h). At the moment, it supports filtering anonymous pages and/or specific memory cgroups in or out for each DAMOS scheme. This patchset adds the support for all DAMOS actions that 'paddr' monitoring operations set supports ('pageout', 'lru_prio', and 'lru_deprio'), and the functionality is exposed via DAMON kernel API (damon.h) the DAMON sysfs interface (/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admins/), and DAMON_RECLAIM module parameters. Patches Sequence ---------------- First patch implements DAMOS filter interface to DAMON kernel API. Second patch makes the physical address space monitoring operations set to support the filters from all supporting DAMOS actions. Third patch adds anonymous pages filter support to DAMON_RECLAIM, and the fourth patch documents the DAMON_RECLAIM's new feature. Fifth to seventh patches implement DAMON sysfs files for support of the filters, and eighth patch connects the file to use DAMOS filters feature. Ninth patch adds simple self test cases for DAMOS filters of the sysfs interface. Finally, following two patches (tenth and eleventh) document the new features and interfaces. This patch (of 11): DAMOS lets users do system operation in a data access pattern oriented way. The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat accurate more than what user space could know in many cases. However, in some situation, users could know something more than the kernel about the pattern or some special requirements for some types of memory or processes.

The impelmentation should be made in the monitoring operations sets, and following commits will add that.

mm/damon/core: add a callback for scheme target regions check

2022-11-30T23:58:43Z

Patch series "efficiently expose damos action tried regions information". DAMON users can retrieve the monitoring results via 'after_aggregation' callbacks if the user is using the kernel API, or 'damon_aggregated' tracepoint if the user is in the user space. Those are useful if full monitoring results are necessary. However, if the user has interest in only a snapshot of the results for some regions having specific access pattern, the interfaces could be inefficient. For example, some users only want to know which memory regions are not accessed for more than a specific time at the moment. Also, some DAMOS users would want to know exactly to what memory regions the schemes' actions tried to be applied, for a debugging or a tuning. As DAMOS has its internal mechanism for quota and regions prioritization, the users would need to simulate DAMOS' mechanism against the monitoring results. That's unnecessarily complex. This patchset implements DAMON kernel API callbacks and sysfs directory for efficient exposure of the information for the use cases. The new callback will be called for each region when a DAMOS action is gonna tried to be applied to it. The sysfs directory will be called 'tried_regions' and placed under each scheme sysfs directory. Users can write a special keyworkd, 'update_schemes_regions', to the 'state' file of a kdamond sysfs directory. Then, DAMON sysfs interface will fill the directory with the information of regions that corresponding scheme action was tried to be applied for next one aggregation interval. Patches Sequence ---------------- The first one (patch 1) implements the callback for the kernel space users. Following two patches (patches 2 and 3) implements sysfs directories for the information and its sub directories. Two patches (patches 4 and 5) for implementing the special keywords for filling the data to and cleaning up the directories follow. Patch 6 adds a selftest for the new sysfs directory. Finally, two patches (patches 7 and 8) document the new feature in the administrator guide and the ABI document. This patch (of 8): Getting DAMON monitoring results of only specific access pattern (e.g., getting address ranges of memory that not accessed at all for two minutes) can be useful for efficient monitoring of the system. The information can also be helpful for deep level investigation of DAMON-based operation schemes. For that, users need to record (in case of the user space users) or iterate (in case of the kernel space users) full monitoring results and filter it out for the specific access pattern. In case of the DAMOS investigation, users will even need to simulate DAMOS' quota and prioritization mechanisms. It's inefficient and complex. Add a new DAMON callback that will be called before each scheme is applied to each region. DAMON kernel API users will be able to do the query-like monitoring results collection, or DAMOS investigation in an efficient and simple way using it. Commits for providing the capability to the user space users will follow.

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.
