One DAMON context can have multiple monitoring targets, and DAMOS schemes
are applied to all targets. In some cases, users need to apply different
scheme to different targets. Retrieving monitoring results via DAMON
sysfs interface' 'tried_regions' directory could be one good example.
Also, there could be cases that cgroup DAMOS filter is not enough. All
such use cases can be worked around by having multiple DAMON contexts
having only single target, but it is inefficient in terms of resource
usage, thogh the overhead is not estimated to be huge.
Implement DAMON monitoring target based DAMOS filter for the case. Like
address range target DAMOS filter, handle these filters in the DAMON core
layer, since it is more efficient than doing in operations set layer.
This also means that regions that filtered out by monitoring target type
DAMOS filters are counted as not tried by the scheme. Hence, target
granularity monitoring results retrieval via DAMON sysfs interface becomes
available.

Patch series "Extend DAMOS filters for address ranges and DAMON monitoring
targets"
There are use cases that need to apply DAMOS schemes to specific address
ranges or DAMON monitoring targets. NUMA nodes in the physical address
space, special memory objects in the virtual address space, and monitoring
target specific efficient monitoring results snapshot retrieval could be
examples of such use cases. This patchset extends DAMOS filters feature
for such cases, by implementing two more filter types, namely address
ranges and DAMON monitoring types.
Patches sequence
----------------
The first seven patches are for the address ranges based DAMOS filter.
The first patch implements the filter feature and expose it via DAMON
kernel API. The second patch further expose the feature to users via
DAMON sysfs interface. The third and fourth patches implement unit tests
and selftests for the feature. Three patches (fifth to seventh) updating
the documents follow.
The following six patches are for the DAMON monitoring target based DAMOS
filter. The eighth patch implements the feature in the core layer and
expose it via DAMON's kernel API. The ninth patch further expose it to
users via DAMON sysfs interface. Tenth patch add a selftest, and two
patches (eleventh and twelfth) update documents.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/damon/20230728203444.70703-1-sj@kernel.org/
This patch (of 13):
Users can know special characteristic of specific address ranges. NUMA
nodes or special objects or buffers in virtual address space could be such
examples. For such cases, DAMOS schemes could required to be applied to
only specific address ranges. Implement yet another type of DAMOS filter
for the purpose.
Note that the existing filter types, namely anon pages and memcg DAMOS
filters needed page level type check. Because such check can be done
efficiently in the opertions set layer, those filters are handled in
operations set layer. Specifically, only paddr operations set
implementation supports these filters. Also, because statistics counting
is done in the DAMON core layer, the regions that filtered out by these
filters are counted as tried but failed to the statistics.
Unlike those, address range based filters can efficiently handled in the
core layer. Hence, do the handling in the layer, and count the regions
that filtered out by those as the scheme has not tried for the region.
This difference should clearly documented.

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):

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.

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.

Patch series "mm/damon: Support online tuning".
Effects of DAMON and DAMON-based Operation Schemes highly depends on the
configurations. Wrong configurations could even result in unexpected
efficiency degradations. For finding a best configuration, repeating
incremental configuration changes and results measurements, in other
words, online tuning, could be helpful.
Nevertheless, DAMON kernel API supports only restrictive online tuning.
Worse yet, the sysfs-based DAMON user interface doesn't support online
tuning at all. DAMON_RECLAIM also doesn't support online tuning.
This patchset makes the DAMON kernel API, DAMON sysfs interface, and
DAMON_RECLAIM supports online tuning.
Sequence of patches
-------------------
First two patches enhance DAMON online tuning for kernel API users.
Specifically, patch 1 let kernel API users to be able to do DAMON online
tuning without a restriction, and patch 2 makes error handling easier.
Following seven patches (patches 3-9) refactor code for better readability
and easier reuse of code fragments that will be useful for online tuning
support.
Patch 10 introduces DAMON callback based user request handling structure
for DAMON sysfs interface, and patch 11 enables DAMON online tuning via
DAMON sysfs interface. Documentation patch (patch 12) for usage of it
follows.
Patch 13 enables online tuning of DAMON_RECLAIM and finally patch 14
documents the DAMON_RECLAIM online tuning usage.
This patch (of 14):
For updating input parameters for running DAMON contexts, DAMON kernel API
users can use the contexts' callbacks, as it is the safe place for context
internal data accesses. When the context has DAMON-based operation
schemes and all schemes are deactivated due to their watermarks, however,
DAMON does nothing but only watermarks checks. As a result, no callbacks
will be called back, and therefore the kernel API users cannot update the
input parameters including monitoring attributes, DAMON-based operation
schemes, and watermarks.
To let users easily update such DAMON input parameters in such a case,
this commit adds a new callback, 'after_wmarks_check()'. It will be
called after each watermarks check. Users can do the online input
parameters update in the callback even under the schemes deactivated case.

Patch series "support fixed virtual address ranges monitoring".
The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically
updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the
virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more
information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest
in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the
automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overhead
or distractions.
This patchset adds supports for the use case on DAMON's kernel API
(DAMON_OPS_FVADDR) and sysfs interface ('fvaddr' keyword for 'operations'
sysfs file).
This patch (of 3):
The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically
updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the
virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more
information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest
in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the
automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overheads
or distractions.
For such cases, DAMON's API users can simply set the '->init()' and
'->update()' of the DAMON context's '->ops' NULL, and set the target
monitoring regions when creating the context. But, that would be a dirty
hack. Worse yet, the hack is unavailable for DAMON user space interface
users.
To support the use case in a clean way that can easily exported to the
user space, this commit adds another monitoring operations set called
'fvaddr', which is same to 'vaddr' but does not automatically update the
monitoring regions. Instead, it will only respect the virtual address
regions which have explicitly passed at the initial context creation.
Note that this commit leave sysfs interface not supporting the feature
yet. The support will be made in a following commit.

Patch series "mm/damon: allow users know which monitoring ops are available".
DAMON users can configure it for vaious address spaces including virtual
address spaces and the physical address space by setting its monitoring
operations set with appropriate one for their purpose. However, there is
no celan and simple way to know exactly which monitoring operations sets
are available on the currently running kernel.
This patchset adds functions for the purpose on DAMON's kernel API
('damon_is_registered_ops()') and sysfs interface ('avail_operations' file
under each context directory).
This patch (of 4):
To know if a specific 'damon_operations' is registered, users need to
check the kernel config or try 'damon_select_ops()' with the ops of the
question, and then see if it successes. In the latter case, the user
should also revert the change. To make the process simple and convenient,
this commit adds a function for checking if a specific 'damon_operations'
is registered or not.

Patch series "Introduce DAMON sysfs interface", v3.
Introduction
============
DAMON's debugfs-based user interface (DAMON_DBGFS) served very well, so
far. However, it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not
aimed to be used for only debugging. Also, the interface receives
multiple values via one file. For example, schemes file receives 18
values. As a result, it is inefficient, hard to be used, and difficult to
be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space
tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement
another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate DAMON_DBGFS in long
term.
For the reason, this patchset introduces a sysfs-based new user interface
of DAMON. The idea of the new interface is, using directory hierarchies
and having one dedicated file for each value. For a short example, users
can do the virtual address monitoring via the interface as below:
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/
# echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts
# echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets
# echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target
# echo on > kdamonds/0/state
A brief representation of the files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface is
as below. Childs are represented with indentation, directories are having
'/' suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma.
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin
│ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds

Detailed usage of the files will be described in the final Documentation
patch of this patchset.
Main Difference Between DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS
---------------------------------------------------
At the moment, DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS provides same features. One
important difference between them is their exclusiveness. DAMON_DBGFS
works in an exclusive manner, so that no DAMON worker thread (kdamond) in
the system can run concurrently and interfere somehow. For the reason,
DAMON_DBGFS asks users to construct all monitoring contexts and start them
at once. It's not a big problem but makes the operation a little bit
complex and unflexible.
For more flexible usage, DAMON_SYSFS moves the responsibility of
preventing any possible interference to the admins and work in a
non-exclusive manner. That is, users can configure and start contexts one
by one. Note that DAMON respects both exclusive groups and non-exclusive
groups of contexts, in a manner similar to that of reader-writer locks.
That is, if any exclusive monitoring contexts (e.g., contexts that started
via DAMON_DBGFS) are running, DAMON_SYSFS does not start new contexts, and
vice versa.
Future Plan of DAMON_DBGFS Deprecation
======================================
Once this patchset is merged, DAMON_DBGFS development will be frozen.
That is, we will maintain it to work as is now so that no users will be
break. But, it will not be extended to provide any new feature of DAMON.
The support will be continued only until next LTS release. After that, we
will drop DAMON_DBGFS.
User-space Tooling Compatibility
--------------------------------
As DAMON_SYSFS provides all features of DAMON_DBGFS, all user space
tooling can move to DAMON_SYSFS. As we will continue supporting
DAMON_DBGFS until next LTS kernel release, user space tools would have
enough time to move to DAMON_SYSFS.
The official user space tool, damo[1], is already supporting both
DAMON_SYSFS and DAMON_DBGFS. Both correctness tests[2] and performance
tests[3] of DAMON using DAMON_SYSFS also passed.

[2] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/tree/master/corr
[3] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/tree/master/perf
Sequence of Patches
===================
First two patches (patches 1-2) make core changes for DAMON_SYSFS. The
first one (patch 1) allows non-exclusive DAMON contexts so that
DAMON_SYSFS can work in non-exclusive mode, while the second one (patch 2)
adds size of DAMON enum types so that DAMON API users can safely iterate
the enums.
Third patch (patch 3) implements basic sysfs stub for virtual address
spaces monitoring. Note that this implements only sysfs files and DAMON
is not linked. Fourth patch (patch 4) links the DAMON_SYSFS to DAMON so
that users can control DAMON using the sysfs files.
Following six patches (patches 5-10) implements other DAMON features that
DAMON_DBGFS supports one by one (physical address space monitoring,
DAMON-based operation schemes, schemes quotas, schemes prioritization
weights, schemes watermarks, and schemes stats).
Following patch (patch 11) adds a simple selftest for DAMON_SYSFS, and the
final one (patch 12) documents DAMON_SYSFS.
This patch (of 13):
To avoid interference between DAMON contexts monitoring overlapping memory
regions, damon_start() works in an exclusive manner. That is,
damon_start() does nothing bug fails if any context that started by
another instance of the function is still running. This makes its usage a
little bit restrictive. However, admins could aware each DAMON usage and
address such interferences on their own in some cases.
This commit hence implements non-exclusive mode of the function and allows
the callers to select the mode. Note that the exclusive groups and
non-exclusive groups of contexts will respect each other in a manner
similar to that of reader-writer locks. Therefore, this commit will not
cause any behavioral change to the exclusive groups.

In-kernel DAMON user code like DAMON debugfs interface should set 'struct
damon_operations' of its 'struct damon_ctx' on its own. Therefore, the
client code should depend on all supporting monitoring operations
implementations that it could use. For example, DAMON debugfs interface
depends on both vaddr and paddr, while some of the users are not always
interested in both.
To minimize such unnecessary dependencies, this commit makes the
monitoring operations can be registered by implementing code and then
dynamically selected by the user code without build-time dependency.

Patch series "Allow DAMON user code independent of monitoring primitives".
In-kernel DAMON user code is required to configure the monitoring context
(struct damon_ctx) with proper monitoring primitives (struct
damon_primitive). This makes the user code dependent to all supporting
monitoring primitives. For example, DAMON debugfs interface depends on
both DAMON_VADDR and DAMON_PADDR, though some users have interest in only
one use case. As more monitoring primitives are introduced, the problem
will be bigger.
To minimize such unnecessary dependency, this patchset makes monitoring
primitives can be registered by the implemnting code and later dynamically
searched and selected by the user code.
In addition to that, this patchset renames monitoring primitives to
monitoring operations, which is more easy to intuitively understand what
it means and how it would be structed.
This patch (of 8):
DAMON has a set of callback functions called monitoring primitives and let
it can be configured with various implementations for easy extension for
different address spaces and usages. However, the word 'primitive' is not
so explicit. Meanwhile, many other structs resembles similar purpose
calls themselves 'operations'. To make the code easier to be understood,
this commit renames 'damon_primitives' to 'damon_operations' before it is
too late to rename.

DAMON asks each monitoring target ('struct damon_target') to have one
'unsigned long' integer called 'id', which should be unique among the
targets of same monitoring context. Meaning of it is, however, totally up
to the monitoring primitives that registered to the monitoring context.
For example, the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives treats the
id as a 'struct pid' pointer.
This makes the code flexible, but ugly, not well-documented, and
type-unsafe[1]. Also, identification of each target can be done via its
index. For the reason, this commit removes the concept and uses clear
type definition. For now, only 'struct pid' pointer is used for the
virtual address spaces monitoring. If DAMON is extended in future so that
we need to put another identifier field in the struct, we will use a union
for such primitives-dependent fields and document which primitives are
using which type.

Patch series "mm/damon/schemes: Extend stats for better online analysis and tuning".
To help online access pattern analysis and tuning of DAMON-based
Operation Schemes (DAMOS), DAMOS provides simple statistics for each
scheme. Introduction of DAMOS time/space quota further made the tuning
easier by making the risk management easier. However, that also made
understanding of the working schemes a little bit more difficult.
For an example, progress of a given scheme can now be throttled by not
only the aggressiveness of the target access pattern, but also the
time/space quotas. So, when a scheme is showing unexpectedly slow
progress, it's difficult to know by what the progress of the scheme is
throttled, with currently provided statistics.
This patchset extends the statistics to contain some metrics that can be
helpful for such online schemes analysis and tuning (patches 1-2),
exports those to users (patches 3 and 5), and add documents (patches 4
and 6).
This patch (of 6):
DAMON-based operation schemes (DAMOS) stats provide only the number and
the amount of regions that the action of the scheme has tried to be
applied. Because the action could be failed for some reasons, the
currently provided information is sometimes not useful or convenient
enough for schemes profiling and tuning. To improve this situation,
this commit extends the DAMOS stats to provide the number and the amount
of regions that the action has successfully applied.

Though the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, but the kthread_run
still be called, and the kdamond.x thread still be created, this is
meaningless.
So there adds a judgment in 'dbgfs_monitor_on_write', if the
ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, return -EINVAL.

DAMON-based operation schemes need to be manually turned on and off. In
some use cases, however, the condition for turning a scheme on and off
would depend on the system's situation. For example, schemes for
proactive pages reclamation would need to be turned on when some memory
pressure is detected, and turned off when the system has enough free
memory.
For easier control of schemes activation based on the system situation,
this introduces a watermarks-based mechanism. The client can describe
the watermark metric (e.g., amount of free memory in the system),
watermark check interval, and three watermarks, namely high, mid, and
low. If the scheme is deactivated, it only gets the metric and compare
that to the three watermarks for every check interval. If the metric is
higher than the high watermark, the scheme is deactivated. If the
metric is between the mid watermark and the low watermark, the scheme is
activated. If the metric is lower than the low watermark, the scheme is
deactivated again. This is to allow users fall back to traditional
page-granularity mechanisms.

This makes the default monitoring primitives for virtual address spaces
and the physical address sapce to support memory regions prioritization
for 'PAGEOUT' DAMOS action. It calculates hotness of each region as
weighted sum of 'nr_accesses' and 'age' of the region and get the
priority score as reverse of the hotness, so that cold regions can be
paged out first.

This makes DAMON apply schemes to regions having higher priority first,
if it cannot apply schemes to all regions due to the quotas.
The prioritization function should be implemented in the monitoring
primitives. Those would commonly calculate the priority of the region
using attributes of regions, namely 'size', 'nr_accesses', and 'age'.
For example, some primitive would calculate the priority of each region
using a weighted sum of 'nr_accesses' and 'age' of the region.
The optimal weights would depend on give environments, so this makes
those customizable. Nevertheless, the score calculation functions are
only encouraged to respect the weights, not mandated.

The size quota feature of DAMOS is useful for IO resource-critical
systems, but not so intuitive for CPU time-critical systems. Systems
using zram or zswap-like swap device would be examples.
To provide another intuitive ways for such systems, this implements
time-based quota for DAMON-based Operation Schemes. If the quota is
set, DAMOS tries to use only up to the user-defined quota of CPU time
within a given time window.

If DAMOS has stopped applying action in the middle of a group of memory
regions due to its size quota, it starts the work again from the
beginning of the address space in the next charge window. If there is a
huge memory region at the beginning of the address space and it fulfills
the scheme's target data access pattern always, the action will applied
to only the region.
This mitigates the case by skipping memory regions that charged in
current charge window at the beginning of next charge window.
