Patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter", v5.
hugepage_size DAMOS filter can be used to gather statistics to check if
memory regions of specific access tempratures are backed by hugepages of a
size in a specific range. This filter can help to observe and prove the
effectivenes of different schemes for shrinking/collapsing hugepages.

damos_walk_control can be installed while DAMOS is walking the regions.
This means the walk callback function invocations can be started from a
region at the middle of the regions list. This makes it hard to be used
reliably. Particularly, DAMOS tried regions update for collecting
monitoring results gets problematic results. Increase the
walk_control_lock critical section to do walking in entire regions
granularity.

damos_walk() invokes callback functions of schemes until all schemes
finishes at least one round of walks. If there are multiple DAMOS schemes
having different apply_interval, the callback functions for longer apply
interval scheme will be called for more than a round of the walk.
The behavior is different from the document (see damos_walk() kernel-doc
comment), and not useful. Make the behavior be same to the documented
one, by stopping invoking the callback if the walk for the given scheme is
completed.

'paddr' DAMON operations set can apply a DAMOS scheme's action to a large
folio multiple times in single DAMOS-regions-walk if the folio is laid on
multiple DAMON regions. Add a field for DAMOS scheme object that can be
used by the underlying ops to know what was the last entity that the
scheme's action has applied. The core layer unsets the field when each
DAMOS-regions-walk is done for the given scheme. And update 'paddr' ops
to use the infrastructure to avoid the problem.

Patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling".
DAMON operations set for physical address space, namely 'paddr', treats
tail pages as unaccessed always. It can also apply DAMOS action to a
large folio multiple times within single DAMOS' regions walking. As a
result, the monitoring output has poor quality and DAMOS works in
unexpected ways when large folios are being used. Fix those.
The patches were parts of Usama's hugepage_size DAMOS filter patch
series[1]. The first fix has collected from there with a slight commit
message change for the subject prefix. The second fix is re-written by SJ
and posted as an RFC before this series. The second one also got a slight
commit message change for the subject prefix.

This patch (of 2):
This effectively adds support for large folios in damon for paddr, as
damon_pa_mkold/young won't get a null folio from this function and won't
ignore it, hence access will be checked and reported. This also means
that larger folios will be considered for different DAMOS actions like
pageout, prioritization and migration. As these DAMOS actions will
consider larger folios, iterate through the region at folio_size and not
PAGE_SIZE intervals. This should not have an affect on vaddr, as
damon_young_pmd_entry considers pmd entries.

Ever since commit b756a3b5e7 ("mm: device exclusive memory access") we
can return with a device-exclusive entry from page_vma_mapped_walk().
damon_folio_mkold_one() is not prepared for that and calls
damon_ptep_mkold() with PFN swap PTEs. Teach damon_ptep_mkold() to deal
with these PFN swap PTEs. Note that device-private entries are so far not
applicable on that path, as damon_get_folio() filters out non-lru folios.
Should we just skip PFN swap PTEs completely? Possible, but it seems
straight forward to just handle it correctly.
Note that we could currently only run into this case with device-exclusive
entries on THPs. We still adjust the mapcount on conversion to
device-exclusive; this makes the rmap walk abort early for small folios,
because we'll always have !folio_mapped() with a single device-exclusive
entry. We'll adjust the mapcount logic once all page_vma_mapped_walk()
users can properly handle device-exclusive entries.

The function for allocating and initialize a 'struct damos' object,
damon_new_scheme(), is not initializing damos->walk_completed field. Only
damos_walk_complete() is setting the field. Hence the field will be
eventually set and used correctly from second damos_walk() call for the
scheme. But the first damos_walk() could mistakenly not walk on the
regions. Actually, a common usage of DAMOS for taking an access pattern
snapshot is installing a monitoring-purpose DAMOS scheme, doing
damos_walk() to retrieve the snapshot, and then removing the scheme.
DAMON user-space tool (damo) also gets runtime snapshot in the way. Hence
the problem can continuously happen in such use cases. Initialize it
properly in the allocation function.

Filtering decisions are made in filters evaluation order. Once a decision
is made by a filter, filters that scheduled to be evaluated after the
decision-made filter should just respect it. This is the intended and
documented behavior. Since core layer-handled filters are evaluated
before operations layer-handled filters, decisions made on core layer
should respected by ops layer.
In case of reject filters, the decision is respected, since core
layer-rejected regions are not passed to ops layer. But in case of allow
filters, ops layer filters don't know if the region has passed to them
because it was allowed by core filters or just because it didn't match to
any core layer. The current wrong implementation assumes it was due to
not matched by any core filters. As a reuslt, the decision is not
respected. Pass the missing information to ops layer using a new filed in
'struct damos', and make the ops layer filters respect it.

to be confused, and restrictive at combining multiple filters for covering

keep the old behavior, set it as 'false' (work as exclusive filter) by
default, from damos_new_filter().
Following two commits will make the core and operations set layers, which

DAMOS_STAT action handling of paddr DAMON operations set implementation is
simply ignoring the region-internal DAMOS filters, and therefore not
reporting back the filter-passed bytes. Apply the filters and report back
the information.
Before this change, DAMOS_STAT was doing nothing for DAMOS filters. Hence
users might see some performance regressions. Such regression for use
cases where no region-internal DAMOS filter is added to the scheme will be
negligible, since this change avoids unnecessary filtering works if no
such filter is installed.
For old users who are using DAMOS_STAT with the types of filters, the
regression could be visible depending on the size of the region and the
overhead of the installed DAMOS filters. But, because the filters were
completely ignored before in the use case, no real users would really
depend on such use case that makes no point.

Introduce a new core layer interface, damos_walk(). It aims to replace
some damon_callback usages that access DAMOS schemes applied regions of
ongoing kdamond with additional synchronizations. It receives a function
pointer and asks kdamond to invoke it for any region that it tried to
apply any DAMOS action within one scheme apply interval for every scheme
of it. The function further waits until the kdamond finishes the
invocations for every scheme, or cancels the request, and returns.
The kdamond invokes the function as requested within the main loop. If it
is deactivated by DAMOS watermarks or going out of the main loop, it marks
the request as canceled, so that damos_walk() can wakeup and return.

DAMON sysfs interface uses damon_callback with its own synchronization
facility to handle update_schemes_stats kdamond command. But damon_call()
can support the use case without the additional synchronizations. Convert
the code to use damon_call() instead.

Introduce a new DAMON core API function, damon_call(). It aims to replace
some damon_callback usages that access damon_ctx of ongoing kdamond with
additional synchronizations. It receives a function pointer, let the
parallel kdamond invokes the function, and returns after the invocation is
finished, or canceled due to some races.
kdamond invokes the function inside the main loop after sampling is done.
If it is deactivated by DAMOS watermarks or already out of the main loop,
mark the request as canceled so that damon_call() can wakeup and return.

DAMON sysfs interface handles clear_schemes_tried_regions request from the
DAMON callback context (damon_sysfs_cmd_request_callback()), which is
designed to be used for safe access to the related DAMON context internal
data. But no DAMON context internal data is accessed for the work.
Directly handle it from DAMON sysfs interface context, namely
damon_sysfs_handle_cmd().

Patch series "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with
new core functions".
DAMON provides damon_callback API that notifies monitoring events and
allows safe access to damon_ctx internal data. The usage is simple.
Users register and deregister callback functions for different monitoring
events in damon_ctx. Then the DAMON worker thread (kdamond) of the
damon_ctx calls back the registered functions on the events.
It is designed in such simple way because it was sufficient for usages of
DAMON at the early days. We also wanted to make it flexible so that API
user code can implement any required additional features on top of
damon_callback on their demands.
As expected, more sophisticated usages have invented. Online updates of
DAMON parameters and DAMOS auto-tuning inputs, and online retrieval of
DAMOS statistics and tried regions information are such usages. Because
damon_callback doesn't provide any explicit synchronization mechanism, the
user ABIs for exposing such functionalities are implemented in
asynchronous ways (DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT}), or synchronous ways
(DAMON_SYSFS) with additional synchronization mechanisms that built inside
the ABI implementation, on top of damon_callback.
So damon_callback is working as expected. However, the additional
mechanisms built inside ABI on top of damon_callback is becoming somewhat
too big and not easy to maintain. The additional mechanisms can be
smaller and easier to maintain when implemented inside the core logic
layer.
Introduce two new DAMON core API, namely 'damon_call()' and
'damos_walk()'. The two functions support synchronous access to
- damon_ctx internal data including DAMON parameters and monitoring
results, and
- DAMOS-specific data such as regions that each DAMOS action is applied,
respectively.
And replace most of damon_callback usages in DAMON sysfs interface with
the new core API functions. damon_callback usage for online DAMON
parameters tuning is not replaced in this series, since it has specific
callback timing assumptions that require more works.
Patch sequence
==============
First two patches are fixups for simplifying the following changes. Those
remove a unnecessary condition check and a synchronization, respectively.
Third patch implements one of the new DAMON core APIs, namely
damon_call(). Three patches replacing damon_callback usages in DAMON
sysfs interface using damon_call() follow.
Then, seventh and eighth patches introduces the other new DAMON API,
damos_walk(), and document it on the design doc. Ninth patch replaces two
damon_callback usages in DAMON sysfs interface using damos_walk().
The tenth patch finally cleans up code that no more being used.
This patch (of 10):
damon_sysfs_schemes_clear_regions() skips removing the scheme tried region
directories only if the matching scheme is still ongoing. It is
unnecessary check, since what users want is just removing the entire
region directories. Remove the unnecessary check.

Patch series "mm/damon/core: fix memory leaks and ignored inputs from
damon_commit_ctx()".
Due to two bugs in damon_commit_targets() and damon_commit_schemes(),
which are called from damon_commit_ctx(), some user inputs can be ignored,
and some mmeory objects can be leaked. Fix those.
Note that only DAMON sysfs interface users are affected. Other DAMON core
API user modules that more focused more on simple and dedicated production
usages, including DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT are not using the buggy
function in the way, so not affected.
This patch (of 2):
When new DAMON targets are added via damon_commit_targets(), the newly
created targets are not deallocated when updating the internal data
(damon_commit_target()) is failed. Worse yet, even if the setup is
successfully done, the new target is not linked to the context. Hence,
the new targets are always leaked regardless of the internal data setup
failure. Fix the leaks.

- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

damon_feed_loop_next_input() is inefficient and fragile to overflows.
Specifically, 'score_goal_diff_bp' calculation can overflow when 'score'
is high. The calculation is actually unnecessary at all because 'goal' is
a constant of value 10,000. Calculation of 'compensation' is again
fragile to overflow. Final calculation of return value for under-achiving
case is again fragile to overflow when the current score is
under-achieving the target.
Add two corner cases handling at the beginning of the function to make the
body easier to read, and rewrite the body of the function to avoid
overflows and the unnecessary bp value calcuation.

DAMON's logics to determine if this is the time to apply damos schemes
assumes next_apply_sis is always set larger than current
passed_sample_intervals. And therefore assume continuously incrementing
passed_sample_intervals will make it reaches to the next_apply_sis in
future. The logic hence does apply the scheme and update next_apply_sis
only if passed_sample_intervals is same to next_apply_sis.
If Schemes apply interval is set as zero, however, next_apply_sis is set
same to current passed_sample_intervals, respectively. And
passed_sample_intervals is incremented before doing the next_apply_sis
check. Hence, next_apply_sis becomes larger than next_apply_sis, and the
logic says it is not the time to apply schemes and update next_apply_sis.
In other words, DAMON stops applying schemes until passed_sample_intervals
overflows.
Based on the documents and the common sense, a reasonable behavior for
such inputs would be applying the schemes for every sampling interval.
Handle the case by removing the assumption.

Patch series "mm/damon/core: fix handling of zero non-sampling intervals".
DAMON's internal intervals accounting logic is not correctly handling
non-sampling intervals of zero values for a wrong assumption. This could
cause unexpected monitoring behavior, and even result in infinite hang of
DAMON sysfs interface user threads in case of zero aggregation interval.
Fix those by updating the intervals accounting logic. For details of the
root case and solutions, please refer to commit messages of fixes.
This patch (of 2):
DAMON's logics to determine if this is the time to do aggregation and ops
update assumes next_{aggregation,ops_update}_sis are always set larger
than current passed_sample_intervals. And therefore it further assumes
continuously incrementing passed_sample_intervals every sampling interval
will make it reaches to the next_{aggregation,ops_update}_sis in future.
The logic therefore make the action and update
next_{aggregation,ops_updaste}_sis only if passed_sample_intervals is same
to the counts, respectively.
If Aggregation interval or Ops update interval are zero, however,
next_aggregation_sis or next_ops_update_sis are set same to current
passed_sample_intervals, respectively. And passed_sample_intervals is
incremented before doing the next_{aggregation,ops_update}_sis check.
Hence, passed_sample_intervals becomes larger than
next_{aggregation,ops_update}_sis, and the logic says it is not the time
to do the action and update next_{aggregation,ops_update}_sis forever,
until an overflow happens. In other words, DAMON stops doing aggregations
or ops updates effectively forever, and users cannot get monitoring
results.
Based on the documents and the common sense, a reasonable behavior for
such inputs is doing an aggregation and an ops update for every sampling
interval. Handle the case by removing the assumption.
Note that this could incur particular real issue for DAMON sysfs interface
users, in case of zero Aggregation interval. When user starts DAMON with
zero Aggregation interval and asks online DAMON parameter tuning via DAMON
sysfs interface, the request is handled by the aggregation callback.
Until the callback finishes the work, the user who requested the online
tuning just waits. Hence, the user will be stuck until the
passed_sample_intervals overflows.

Patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
damon_va_evenly_split_region()". v2.
According to the logic of damon_va_evenly_split_region(), currently
following split case would not meet the expectation:
Suppose DAMON_MIN_REGION=0x1000,
Case: Split [0x0, 0x3000) into 2 pieces, then the result would be
acutually 3 regions:
[0x0, 0x1000), [0x1000, 0x2000), [0x2000, 0x3000)
but NOT the expected 2 regions:
[0x0, 0x1000), [0x1000, 0x3000) !!!
The root cause is that when calculating size of each split piece in
damon_va_evenly_split_region():
`sz_piece = ALIGN_DOWN(sz_orig / nr_pieces, DAMON_MIN_REGION);`
both the dividing and the ALIGN_DOWN may cause loss of precision, then
each time split one piece of size 'sz_piece' from origin 'start' to 'end'
would cause more pieces are split out than expected!!!
To fix it, count for each piece split and make sure no more than
'nr_pieces'. In addition, add above case into damon_test_split_evenly().
And add 'nr_piece == 1' check in damon_va_evenly_split_region() for better
code readability and add a corresponding kunit testcase.

The aggregation interval of test purpose damon_attrs for
damon_test_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() becomes zero on 32 bit
architecture, since size of int and long types are same. As a result,
damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() call with the test data triggers
divide-by-zero exception. damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() shouldn't
be called with such data, and the non-test code avoids that by checking
the case on damon_update_monitoring_results(). Skip the test code in
the case, and add an explicit caution of the case on the comment for the

damon_test_three_regions_in_vmas() initializes a maple tree with
MM_MT_FLAGS. The flags contains MT_FLAGS_LOCK_EXTERN, which means mt_lock
of the maple tree will not be used. And therefore the maple tree
initialization code skips initialization of the mt_lock. However,
__link_vmas(), which adds vmas for test to the maple tree, uses the
mt_lock. In other words, the uninitialized spinlock is used. The problem
becomes clear when spinlock debugging is turned on, since it reports
spinlock bad magic bug.
Fix the issue by excluding MT_FLAGS_LOCK_EXTERN from the maple tree
initialization flags. Note that we don't use empty flags to make it
further similar to the usage of mm maple tree, and to be prepared for
possible future changes, as suggested by Liam.

This reverts commit 0742cadf5e4c ("mm/damon/lru_sort: adjust local
variable to dynamic allocation").
The commit was introduced to avoid unnecessary usage of stack memory for
per-scheme region priorities histogram buffer. The fix is nice, but the
point of the fix looks not very clear if the commit message is not read
together. That's mainly because the buffer is a private field, which
means it is hidden from the DAMON API users. That's not the fault of the
fix but the underlying data structure.
Now the per-scheme histogram buffer is gone, so the problem that the
commit was fixing is also removed. The use of kmemdup() has no more point
but just making the code bit difficult to understand. Revert the fix.

Patch series "replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with
per-context one".
Each DAMOS quota (struct damos_quota) maintains a histogram for total
regions size per its prioritization score. DAMOS calcultes minimum
prioritization score of regions that are ok to apply the DAMOS action to
while respecting the quota. The histogram is constructed only for the
calculation of the minimum score in damos_adjust_quota() for each quota
which called by kdamond_fn().
Hence, there is no real reason to have per-quota histogram. Only
per-kdamond histogram is needed, since parallel kdamonds could have races
otherwise. The current implementation is only wasting the memory, and can
easily cause unintended stack usage[1].
So, introducing a per-kdamond histogram and replacing the per-quota one
with it would be the right solution for the issue. However, supporting
multiple DAMON contexts per kdamond is still an ongoing work[2] without a
clear estimated time of arrival. Meanwhile, per-context histogram could
be an effective and straightforward solution having no blocker. Let's fix
the problem first in the way.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce per-context buffer for region priority scores-total size
histogram. Same to the per-quota one (->histogram of struct damos_quota),
the new buffer is hidden from DAMON API users by being defined as a
private field of DAMON context structure. It is dynamically allocated and
de-allocated at the beginning and ending of the execution of the kdamond
by kdamond_fn() itself.

DAMON keeps the number of regions under max_nr_regions by skipping regions
split operations when doing so can make the number higher than the limit.
It works well for preventing violation of the limit. But, if somehow the
violation happens, it cannot recovery well depending on the situation. In
detail, if the real number of regions having different access pattern is
higher than the limit, the mechanism cannot reduce the number below the
limit. In such a case, the system could suffer from high monitoring
overhead of DAMON.
The violation can actually happen. For an example, the user could reduce
max_nr_regions while DAMON is running, to be lower than the current number
of regions. Fix the problem by repeating the merge operations with
increasing aggressiveness in kdamond_merge_regions() for the case, until
the limit is met.

Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function".
DAMON context struct (damon_ctx) contains user requests (parameters),
internal status, and operation results. For flexible usages, DAMON API
users are encouraged to manually manipulate the struct. That works well
for simple use cases. However, it has turned out that it is not that
simple at least for online parameters udpate. It is easy to forget
properly maintaining internal status and operation results. Also, such
manual manipulation for online tuning is implemented multiple times on
DAMON API users including DAMON sysfs interface, DAMON_RECLAIM and
DAMON_LRU_SORT. As a result, we have multiple sources of bugs for same
problem. Actually we found and fixed a few bugs from online parameter
updating of DAMON API users.
Implement a function for online DAMON parameters update in core layer, and

This patch (of 10):
damos_quota_init_priv() function should initialize all private fields of

could result in use of uninitialized variable from

moment because every caller of the function is passing damos_quota object
that already having the field zero value. But we cannot guarantee the

Patch series "mm/damon/paddr: simplify page level access re-check for

The 'pageout' DAMOS action implementation of 'paddr' asks reclaim_pages()
to do page level access check again. But the user can ask 'paddr' to do
the page level access check on its own, using DAMOS filter of 'young page'
type. Meanwhile, 'paddr' is the only user of reclaim_pages() that asks

Make 'paddr' does the page level access check on its own always, and
simplify reclaim_pages() by removing the page level access check request
handling logic. As a result of the change for reclaim_pages(),
reclaim_folio_list(), which is called by reclaim_pages(), also no more

Patch series "mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity
access recheck".
DAMON provides its best-effort accuracy-overhead tradeoff under the
user-defined ranges of acceptable level of the monitoring accuracy and
overhead. A recent discussion for tiered memory management support from
DAMON[1] concluded that finding memory regions of specific access pattern
with low overhead despite of low accuracy via DAMON first, and then double
checking the access of the region again in a finer (e.g., page)
granularity could be a useful strategy for some DAMOS schemes.
Add a new type of DAMOS filter, namely 'young' for such a case. It checks
each page of DAMOS target region is accessed since the last check, and
filters it out or in if 'matching' parameter is 'true' or 'false',
respectively.
Because this is a filter type that applied in page granularity, the
support depends on DAMON operations set, similar to 'anon' and 'memcg'
DAMOS filter types. Implement the support on the DAMON operations set for
the physical address space, 'paddr', since one of the expected usages[1]
is based on the physical address space.

While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that
vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios
to go ahead. It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus
we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan.
Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs
side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise,
folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap
is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after
clearing PTEs young). But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed.
But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is
quite silly like DoS. So probably, we don't need to care. Or ignoring
the new access during the quite small time gap is even better.
For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep
its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple
processes. MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more
aggressive on reclamation. To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply
pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages().
A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of
MADV_PAGEOUT,
#define PGSIZE 4096
main()
{
int i;
#define SIZE 512*1024*1024
volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long))
p[i] = 0x11;
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
}

DAMOS quota auto-tuning asks users to assess the current tuned quota and
provide the feedback in a manual and repeated way. It allows users
generate the feedback from a source that the kernel cannot access, and
writing a script or a function for doing the manual and repeated feeding
is not a big deal. However, additional works are additional works, and it
could be more efficient if DAMOS could do the fetch itself, especially in
case of DAMON sysfs interface use case, since it can avoid the context
switches between the user-space and the kernel-space, though the overhead
would be only trivial in most cases. Also in many cases, feedbacks could
be made from kernel-accessible sources, such as PSI, CPU usage, etc. Make

Patch series "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself".
The Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Aggressiveness Auto-tuning
patchset[1] which has merged since commit 9294a037c0 ("mm/damon/core:
implement goal-oriented feedback-driven quota auto-tuning") made the
mechanism and the policy separated. That is, users can set a part of
DAMOS control policies without a deep understanding of the mechanism but
just their demands such as SLA.
However, users are still required to do some additional work of manually
collecting their target metric and feeding it to DAMOS. In the case of
end-users who use DAMON sysfs interface, the context switches between
user-space and kernel-space could also make it inefficient. The overhead
is supposed to be only trivial in common cases, though. Meanwhile, in
simple use cases, the target metric could be common system metrics that
the kernel can efficiently self-retrieve, such as memory pressure stall
time (PSI).
Extend DAMOS quota auto-tuning to support multiple types of metrics
including the DAMOS self-retrievable ones, and add support for memory
pressure stall time metric. Different types of metrics can be supported
in future. The auto-tuning capability is currently supported for only
users of DAMOS kernel API and DAMON sysfs interface. Extend the support
to DAMON_RECLAIM.
Patches Sequence
================
First five patches are for helping debugging and fine-tuning existing
quota control features. The first one (patch 1) exposes the effective
quota that is made with given user inputs to DAMOS kernel API users and
kernel-doc documents. Following four patches implement (patches 1, 2 and
3) and document (patches 4 and 5) a new DAMON sysfs file that exposes the
value.
Following six patches cleanup and simplify the existing DAMOS quota
auto-tuning code by improving layout of comments and data structures
(patches 6 and 7), supporting common use cases, namely multiple goals
(patches 8, 9 and 10), and simplifying the interface (patch 11).
Then six patches for the main purpose of this patchset follow. The first
three changes extend the core logic for various target metrics (patch 12),
implement memory pressure stall time-based target metric support (patch
13), and update DAMON sysfs interface to support the new target metric
(patch 14). Then, documentation updates for the features on design (patch
15), ABI (patch 16), and usage (patch 17) follow.
Last three patches add auto-tuning support on DAMON_RECLAIM. The patches
implement DAMON_RECLAIM parameters for user-feedback driven quota
auto-tuning (patch 18), memory pressure stall time-driven quota
self-tuning (patch 19), and finally update the DAMON_RECLAIM usage
document for the new parameters (patch 20).

This patch (of 20):
DAMOS allow users to specify the quota as they want in multiple ways
including time quota, size quota, and feedback-based auto-tuning. DAMOS
makes one effective quota out of the inputs and use it at the end.
Knowing the current effective quota helps understanding DAMOS' internal
mechanism and fine-tuning quotas. DAMON kernel API users can get the
information from ->esz field of damos_quota struct, but the field is
marked as private purpose, and not kernel-doc documented. Make it public
and document.

rate", which starts from commit 78fbfb155d ("mm/damon/core: define and
use a dedicated function for region access rate update"), DAMON provides
good-to-use quality moitoring results for every sampling interval. It
aims to help users who need to quickly retrieve the monitoring results.
When the aggregation interval is set too long and therefore waiting for
the aggregation interval can degrade user experience, or when the access
pattern is expected to be significantly changed[1] could be such cases.
However, because DAMON sysfs interface is still handling the commands per
aggregation interval, the end user cannot get the benefit. Update DAMON
sysfs interface to handle kdamond commands for every sampling interval if
applicable. Specifically, all kdamond data accessing commands except
'commit' command are applicable.

Kernel builders could silently enable CONFIG_DAMON_DBGFS_DEPRECATED.
Users who manually check the files under the DAMON debugfs directory could
notice the deprecation owing to the 'DEPRECATED' DAMON debugfs file, but
there could be users who doesn't manually check the files.
Make the deprecation cannot be ignored in the case by renaming
'monitor_on' file, which is essential for real use of DAMON on runtime, to
'monitor_on_DEPRECATED'. Still users who control DAMON via only
user-space tool could ignore the deprecation, but that's what the tool
developers should take care of. DAMON user-space tool, damo, has also
made a change[1] for the purpose.

For online parameters change, DAMON_LRU_SORT creates new schemes based on
latest values of the parameters and replaces the old schemes with the new
one. When creating it, the internal status of the quotas of the old
schemes is not preserved. As a result, charging of the quota starts from
zero after the online tuning. The data that collected to estimate the
throughput of the scheme's action is also reset, and therefore the
estimation should start from the scratch again. Because the throughput
estimation is being used to convert the time quota to the effective size
quota, this could result in temporal time quota inaccuracy. It would be

temporarily degraded after online parameters update.

Make DAMON sysfs interface to read the user inputs for DAMOS quota goals
and pass those to DAMOS, so that the users can use the quota auto-tuning
feature. It uses the DAMON sysfs interface's user input commit mechanism,
which applies all user inputs for initial starting of DAMON and online
input updates, which can be done by writing 'on' and 'commit' to the
kdamond's 'state' file, respectively. In other words, the user should
periodically write appropriate value to 'current_value' files and 'commit'
command to the 'state' file. 'target_value' files could also be similarly
updated at any time.
Note that the interface is supporting multiple goals while the core logic
supports only one goal. DAMON sysfs interface passes only best feedback
among the given inputs, to avoid making DAMOS too aggressive.

Patch series "mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS".
Introduce Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Aggressiveness Auto-tuning.
It makes DAMOS self-tuned with periodic simple user feedback.
Background: DAMOS Control Difficulty
====================================
DAMOS helps users easily implement access pattern aware system operations.
However, controlling DAMOS in the wild is not that easy.
The basic way for DAMOS control is specifying the target access pattern.
In this approach, the user is assumed to well understand the access
pattern and the characteristics of the system and the workloads. Though
there are useful tools for that, it takes time and effort depending on the
complexity and the dynamicity of the system and the workloads. After all,
the access pattern consists of three ranges, namely the size, the access
rate, and the age of the regions. It means users need to tune six
parameters, which is anyway not a simple task.
One of the worst cases would be DAMOS being too aggressive like a
berserker, and therefore consuming too much system resource and making
unwanted radical system operations. To let users avoid such cases, DAMOS
allows users to set the upper-limit of the schemes' aggressiveness, namely
DAMOS quota. DAMOS further provides its best-effort under the limit by
prioritizing regions based on the access pattern of the regions. For
example, users can ask DAMOS to page out up to 100 MiB of memory regions
per second. Then DAMOS pages out regions that are not accessed for a
longer time (colder) first under the limit. This allows users to set the
target access pattern a bit naive with wider ranges, and focus on tuning
only one parameter, the quota. In other words, the number of parameters
to tune can be reduced from six to one.
Still, however, the optimum value for the quota depends on the system and
the workloads' characteristics, so not that simple. The number of
parameters to tune can also increase again if the user needs to run
multiple schemes.
Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS Aggressiveness Auto Tuning
=============================================================
Users would use DAMOS since they want to achieve something with it. They
will likely have measurable metrics representing the achievement and the
target number of the metric like SLO, and continuously measure that
anyway. While the additional cost of getting the information is nearly
zero, it could be useful for DAMOS to understand how appropriate its
current aggressiveness is set, and adjust it on its own to make the metric
value more close to the target.
Based on this idea, we introduce a new way of tuning DAMOS with nearly
zero additional effort, namely Aim-oriented Feedback-driven DAMOS
Aggressiveness Auto Tuning. It asks users to provide feedback
representing how well DAMOS is doing relative to the users' aim. Then
DAMOS adjusts its aggressiveness, specifically the quota that provides
the best effort result under the limit, based on the current level of
the aggressiveness and the users' feedback.
Implementation
==============
The implementation asks users to represent the feedback with score
numbers. The scores could be anything including user-space specific
metrics including latency and throughput of special user-space workloads,
and system metrics including free memory ratio, memory pressure stall time
(PSI), and active to inactive LRU lists size ratio. The feedback scores
and the aggressiveness of the given DAMOS scheme are assumed to be
positively proportional, though. Selecting metrics of the assumption is
the users' responsibility.
The core logic uses the below simple feedback loop algorithm to calculate
the next aggressiveness level of the scheme from the current
aggressiveness level and the current feedback (target_score and
current_score). It calculates the compensation for next aggressiveness as
a proportion of current aggressiveness and distance to the target score.
As a result, it arrives at the near-goal state in a short time using big
steps when it's far from the goal, but avoids making unnecessarily radical
changes that could turn out to be a bad decision using small steps when
its near to the goal.
f(n) = max(1, f(n - 1) * ((target_score - current_score) / target_score + 1))
Note that the compensation value becomes negative when it's over
achieving the goal. That's why the feedback metric and the
aggressiveness of the scheme should be positively proportional. The
distance-adaptive speed manipulation is simply applied.
Example Use Cases
=================
If users want to reduce the memory footprint of the system as much as
possible as long as the time spent for handling the resulting memory
pressure is within a threshold, they could use DAMOS scheme that reclaims
cold memory regions aiming for a little level of memory pressure stall
time.
If users want the active/inactive LRU lists well balanced to reduce the
performance impact due to possible future memory pressure, they could use
two schemes. The first one would be set to locate hot pages in the active
LRU list, aiming for a specific active-to-inactive LRU list size ratio,
say, 70%. The second one would be to locate cold pages in the inactive
LRU list, aiming for a specific inactive-to-active LRU list size ratio,
say, 30%. Then, DAMOS will balance the two schemes based on the goal and
feedback.
This aim-oriented auto tuning could also be useful for general
balancing-required access aware system operations such as system memory
auto scaling[3] and tiered memory management[4]. These two example usages
are not what current DAMOS implementation is already supporting, but
require additional DAMOS action developments, though.
Evaluation: subtle memory pressure aiming proactive reclamation
===============================================================
To show if the implementation works as expected, we prepare four different
system configurations on AWS i3.metal instances. The first setup
(original) runs the workload without any DAMOS scheme. The second setup
(not-tuned) runs the workload with a virtual address space-based proactive
reclamation scheme that pages out memory regions that are not accessed for
five seconds or more. The third setup (offline-tuned) runs the same
proactive reclamation DAMOS scheme, but after making it tuned for each
workload offline, using our previous user-space driven automatic tuning
approach, namely DAMOOS[1]. The fourth and final setup (AFDAA) runs the
scheme that is the same as that of 'not-tuned' setup, but aims to keep
0.5% of 'some' memory pressure stall time (PSI) for the last 10 seconds
using the aiming-oriented auto tuning.
For each setup, we run realistic workloads from PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X
benchmark suites. For each run, we measure RSS and runtime of the
workload, and 'some' memory pressure stall time (PSI) of the system. We
repeat the runs five times and use averaged measurements.
For simple comparison of the results, we normalize the measurements to
those of 'original'. In the case of the PSI, though, the measurement for
'original' was zero, so we normalize the value to that of 'not-tuned'
scheme's result. The normalized results are shown below.
Not-tuned Offline-tuned AFDAA
RSS 0.622688178226118 0.787950678944904 0.740093483278979
runtime 1.11767826657912 1.0564674983585 1.0910833880499
PSI 1 0.727521443794069 0.308498846350299
The 'not-tuned' scheme achieves about 38.7% memory saving but incur about
11.7% runtime slowdown. The 'offline-tuned' scheme achieves about 22.2%
memory saving with about 5.5% runtime slowdown. It also achieves about
28.2% memory pressure stall time saving. AFDAA achieves about 26% memory
saving with about 9.1% runtime slowdown. It also achieves about 69.1%
memory pressure stall time saving. We repeat this test multiple times,
and get consistent results. AFDAA is now integrated in our daily DAMON
performance test setup.
Apparently the aggressiveness of 'AFDAA' setup is somewhere between those
of 'not-tuned' and 'offline-tuned' setup, since its memory saving and
runtime overhead are between those of the other two setups. Actually we
set the memory pressure stall time goal aiming for this middle
aggressiveness. The difference in the two metrics are not significant,
though. However, it shows significant saving of the memory pressure stall
time, which was the goal of the auto-tuning, over the two variants.
Hence, we conclude the automatic tuning is working as expected.
Please note that the AFDAA setup is only for the evaluation, and
therefore intentionally set a bit aggressive. It might not be
appropriate for production environments.
The test code is also available[2], so you could reproduce it on your
system and workloads.
Patches Sequence
================
The first four patches implement the core logic and user interfaces for
the auto tuning. The first patch implements the core logic for the auto
tuning, and the API for DAMOS users in the kernel space. The second
patch implements basic file operations of DAMON sysfs directories and
files that will be used for setting the goals and providing the
feedback. The third patch connects the quota goals files inputs to the
DAMOS core logic. Finally the fourth patch implements a dedicated DAMOS
sysfs command for efficiently committing the quota goals feedback.
Two patches for simple tests of the logic and interfaces follow. The
fifth patch implements the core logic unit test. The sixth patch
implements a selftest for the DAMON Sysfs interface for the goals.
Finally, three patches for documentation follows. The seventh patch
documents the design of the feature. The eighth patch updates the API
doc for the new sysfs files. The final eighth patch updates the usage
document for the features.

This patch (of 9)
Users can effectively control the upper-limit aggressiveness of DAMOS
schemes using the quota feature. The quota provides best result under the
limit by prioritizing regions based on the access pattern. That said,
finding the best value, which could depend on dynamic characteristics of
the system and the workloads, is still challenging.
Implement a simple feedback-driven tuning mechanism and use it for
automatic tuning of DAMOS quota. The implementation allows users to
provide the feedback by setting a feedback score returning callback
function. Then DAMOS periodically calls the function back and adjusts the
quota based on the return value of the callback and current quota value.
Note that the absolute-value based time/size quotas still work as the
maximum hard limits of the scheme's aggressiveness. The feedback-driven
auto-tuned quota is applied only if it is not exceeding the manually set
maximum limits. Same for the scheme-target access pattern and filters
like other features.

If a scheme is set to not applied to any monitoring target region for any
reasons including the target access pattern, quota, filters, or
watermarks, writing 'update_schemes_tried_regions' to 'state' DAMON sysfs
file can indefinitely hang. Fix the case by implementing a timeout for
the operation. The time limit is two apply intervals of each scheme.

Regions split function ('damon_split_region_at()') is called at the
beginning of an aggregation interval, and when DAMOS applying the actions
and charging quota. Because 'nr_accesses' fields of all regions are reset
at the beginning of each aggregation interval, and DAMOS was applying the
action at the end of each aggregation interval, there was no need to copy
the 'nr_accesses' field to the split-out region.
However, commit 42f994b714 ("mm/damon/core: implement scheme-specific
apply interval") made DAMOS applies action on its own timing interval.
Hence, 'nr_accesses' should also copied to split-out regions, but the
commit didn't. Fix it by copying it.

The function '__damos_filter_out()' causes DAMON to always filter out
schemes whose filter type is anon or memcg if its matching value is set
to false.
This commit addresses the issue by ensuring that '__damos_filter_out()'
no longer applies to filters whose type is 'anon' or 'memcg'.

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix unhandled return values".
Some of DAMON sysfs interface code is not handling return values from some
functions. As a result, confusing user input handling or NULL-dereference
is possible. Check those properly.
This patch (of 3):
damon_sysfs_update_target() returns error code for failures, but its
caller, damon_sysfs_set_targets() is ignoring that. The update function
seems making no critical change in case of such failures, but the behavior
will look like DAMON sysfs is silently ignoring or only partially
accepting the user input. Fix it.

When user input is committed online, DAMON sysfs interface is ignoring the
user input for the monitoring target regions. Such request is valid and
useful for fixed monitoring target regions-based monitoring ops like
'paddr' or 'fvaddr'.
Update the region boundaries as user specified, too. Note that the
monitoring results of the regions that overlap between the latest
monitoring target regions and the new target regions are preserved.
Treat empty monitoring target regions user request as a request to just
make no change to the monitoring target regions. Otherwise, users should
set the monitoring target regions same to current one for every online
input commit, and it could be challenging for dynamic monitoring target
regions update DAMON ops like 'vaddr'. If the user really need to remove
all monitoring target regions, they can simply remove the target and then
create the target again with empty target regions.

damon_sysfs_set_targets(), which updates the targets of the context for
online commitment, do not remove targets that removed from the
corresponding sysfs files. As a result, more than intended targets of the
context can exist and hence consume memory and monitoring CPU resource
more than expected.
Fix it by removing all targets of the context and fill up again using the
user input. This could cause unnecessary memory dealloc and realloc
operations, but this is not a hot code path. Also, note that damon_target
is stateless, and hence no data is lost.

DAMON_SYSFS assumes all schemes will be applied for at least one DAMON
monitoring results snapshot within one aggregation interval, or makes no
sense to wait for it while DAMON is deactivated by the watermarks. That
for deactivated status still makes sense, but the aggregation interval
based assumption is invalid now because each scheme can has its own apply
interval. For schemes having larger than the aggregation or watermarks
check interval, DAMOS tried regions update request can be finished without
the update. Avoid the case by explicitly checking the status of the
schemes tried regions update and watermarks based DAMON deactivation.

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for
only one apply interval".
DAMOS tried regions update feature of DAMON sysfs interface is doing the
update for one aggregation interval after the request is made. Since the
per-scheme apply interval is supported, that behavior makes no much sense.
That is, the tried regions directory will have regions from multiple
DAMON monitoring results snapshots, or no region for apply intervals that
much shorter than, or longer than the aggregation interval, respectively.
Update the behavior to update the regions for each scheme for only its
apply interval, and update the document.
Since DAMOS apply interval is the aggregation by default, this change
makes no visible behavioral difference to old users who don't explicitly
set the apply intervals.
Patches Sequence
----------------
The first two patches makes schemes of apply intervals that much shorter
or longer than the aggregation interval to keep the maximum and minimum
times for continuing the update. After the two patches, the update aligns
with the each scheme's apply interval.
Finally, the third patch updates the document to reflect the behavior.
This patch (of 3):
DAMON_SYSFS exposes every DAMON-found region that eligible for applying
the scheme action for one aggregation interval. However, each DAMON-based
operation scheme has its own apply interval. Hence, for a scheme that
having its apply interval much smaller than the aggregation interval,
DAMON_SYSFS will expose the scheme regions that applied to more than one
DAMON monitoring results snapshots. Since the purpose of DAMON tried
regions is exposing single snapshot, this makes no much sense. Track
progress of each scheme's tried regions update and avoid the case.
