<content type='text'>
If 'aggr_interval' is smaller than 'sample_interval', max_nr_accesses in
damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() becomes zero which leads to divide
error, let's validate the values of them in damon_set_attrs() to fix it,
which similar to others attrs check.

<content type='text'>
region-&gt;nr_accesses is the number of sampling intervals in the last
aggregation interval that access to the region has found, and region-&gt;age
is the number of aggregation intervals that its access pattern has
maintained.  Hence, the real meaning of the two fields' values is
depending on current sampling and aggregation intervals.

This means the values need to be updated for every sampling and/or
aggregation intervals updates.  As DAMON core doesn't, it is a duty of
in-kernel DAMON framework applications like DAMON sysfs interface, or the
userspace users.

Handling it in userspace or in-kernel DAMON application is complicated,
inefficient, and repetitive compared to doing the update in DAMON core. 
Do the update in DAMON core.

Sometimes there is no scheme in damon's context, for example just use damo
record to monitor workload's data access pattern.

If current damon context doesn't have any scheme in the list, kdamond has
no need to iterate over list of all targets and regions but do nothing.

So, skip apply schemes when ctx-&gt;schemes is empty.

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

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.

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.

Note that this commit adds only the interface to the DAMON kernel API. 
The impelmentation should be made in the monitoring operations sets, and
following commits will add that.

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

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.

Patch series "mm/damon: cleanup and refactoring code", v2.

This patchset cleans up and refactors a range of DAMON code including the
core, DAMON sysfs interface, and DAMON modules, for better readability and
convenient future feature implementations.

In detail, this patchset splits unnecessarily long and complex functions
in core into smaller functions (patches 1-4).  Then, it cleans up the
DAMON sysfs interface by using more type-safe code (patch 5) and removing
unnecessary function parameters (patch 6).  Further, it refactor the code
by distributing the code into multiple files (patches 7-10).  Last two
patches (patches 11 and 12) deduplicates and remove unnecessary header
inclusion in DAMON modules (reclaim and lru_sort).


This patch (of 12):

The DAMOS action applying function, 'damon_do_apply_schemes()', is quite
long and not so simple.  Split out the already quota-charged region skip
code, which is not a small amount of simple code, into a new function with
some comments for better readability.
