mm/damon/core: make damon_start() waits until kdamond_fn() starts

2023-12-13T01:20:17+00:00

The cleanup tasks of kdamond threads including reset of corresponding DAMON context's ->kdamond field and decrease of global nr_running_ctxs counter is supposed to be executed by kdamond_fn(). However, commit 0f91d13366a4 ("mm/damon: simplify stop mechanism") made neither damon_start() nor damon_stop() ensure the corresponding kdamond has started the execution of kdamond_fn(). As a result, the cleanup can be skipped if damon_stop() is called fast enough after the previous damon_start(). Especially the skipped reset of ->kdamond could cause a use-after-free. Fix it by waiting for start of kdamond_fn() execution from damon_start().

mm/damon/core: copy nr_accesses when splitting region

2023-12-07T00:12:47+00:00

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 42f994b71404 ("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.

mm/damon/core.c: avoid unintentional filtering out of schemes

2023-11-15T23:30:09+00:00

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'.

mm/damon/core: avoid divide-by-zero from pseudo-moving window length calculation

2023-10-25T23:47:15+00:00

When calculating the pseudo-moving access rate, DAMON divides some values by the maximum nr_accesses. However, due to the type of the related variables, simple division-based calculation of the divisor can return zero. As a result, divide-by-zero is possible. Fix it by using damon_max_nr_accesses(), which handles the case. Note that this is a fix for a commit that not in the mainline but mm tree.

mm/damon/core: avoid divide-by-zero during monitoring results update

When monitoring attributes are changed, DAMON updates access rate of the monitoring results accordingly. For that, it divides some values by the maximum nr_accesses.

Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task struct. Use it to replace the various instances of kthread_stop() followed by put_task_struct().

mm/damon/core: implement scheme-specific apply interval

2023-10-04T17:32:31+00:00

DAMON-based operation schemes are applied for every aggregation interval. That was mainly because schemes were using nr_accesses, which be complete to be used for every aggregation interval. However, the schemes are now using nr_accesses_bp, which is updated for each sampling interval in a way that reasonable to be used. Therefore, there is no reason to apply schemes for each aggregation interval. The unnecessary alignment with aggregation interval was also making some use cases of DAMOS tricky. Quotas setting under long aggregation interval is one such example. Suppose the aggregation interval is ten seconds, and there is a scheme having CPU quota 100ms per 1s. The scheme will actually uses 100ms per ten seconds, since it cannobe be applied before next aggregation interval. The feature is working as intended, but the results might not that intuitive for some users. This could be fixed by updating the quota to 1s per 10s. But, in the case, the CPU usage of DAMOS could look like spikes, and would actually make a bad effect to other CPU-sensitive workloads. Implement a dedicated timing interval for each DAMON-based operation scheme, namely apply_interval. The interval will be sampling interval aligned, and each scheme will be applied for its apply_interval. The interval is set to 0 by default, and it means the scheme should use the aggregation interval instead. This avoids old users getting any behavioral difference.

mm/damon/core: make DAMOS uses nr_accesses_bp instead of nr_accesses

2023-10-04T17:32:31+00:00

Patch series "mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals". DAMON-based operation schemes are applied for every aggregation interval. That is mainly because schemes are using nr_accesses, which be complete to be used for every aggregation interval. This makes some DAMOS use cases be tricky. Quota setting under long aggregation interval is one such example. Suppose the aggregation interval is ten seconds, and there is a scheme having CPU quota 100ms per 1s. The scheme will actually uses 100ms per ten seconds, since it cannobe be applied before next aggregation interval. The feature is working as intended, but the results might not that intuitive for some users. This could be fixed by updating the quota to 1s per 10s. But, in the case, the CPU usage of DAMOS could look like spikes, and actually make a bad effect to other CPU-sensitive workloads. Also, with such huge aggregation interval, users may want schemes to be applied more frequently. DAMON provides nr_accesses_bp, which is updated for each sampling interval in a way that reasonable to be used. By using that instead of nr_accesses, DAMOS can have its own time interval and mitigate abovely mentioned issues. This patchset makes DAMOS schemes to use nr_accesses_bp instead of nr_accesses, and have their own timing intervals. Also update DAMOS tried regions sysfs files and DAMOS before_apply tracepoint to use the new data as their source. Note that the interval is zero by default, and it is interpreted to use the aggregation interval instead. This avoids making user-visible behavioral changes. Patches Seuqeunce ----------------- The first patch (patch 1/9) makes DAMOS uses nr_accesses_bp instead of nr_accesses, and following two patches (patches 2/9 and 3/9) updates DAMON sysfs interface for DAMOS tried regions and the DAMOS before_apply tracespoint to use nr_accesses_bp instead of nr_accesses, respectively. The following two patches (patches 4/9 and 5/9) implements the scheme-specific apply interval for DAMON kernel API users and update the design document for the new feature. Finally, the following four patches (patches 6/9, 7/9, 8/9 and 9/9) add support of the feature in DAMON sysfs interface, add a simple selftest test case, and document the new file on the usage and the ABI documents, repsectively. This patch (of 9): DAMON provides nr_accesses_bp, which becomes same to nr_accesses * 10000 for every aggregation interval, but updated every sampling interval with a reasonable accuracy. Since DAMON-based operation schemes are applied in every aggregation interval using nr_accesses, using nr_accesses_bp instead will make no difference to users. Meanwhile, it allows DAMOS to apply the schemes in a time interval that less than the aggregation interval. It could be useful and more flexible for some cases. Do it.
