There was no review but a few of comments from Shakeel in last week, and
therefore I made no change in this patchset.  Instead, I'm preparing extending
DAMON for physical memory monitoring.

Also, I ran the whole evaluation tests including those for DAMON-based
operation schemes again, because this version (v7) patchset fixed an access
check related bug, thanks to Jonathan's finding, while the attached evaluation
results are measured with the previous version (v6).  Overall, it shows only
subtle changes.

In short, v7 DAMON increases system memory footprint by 0.08%, make the target
workloads 0.25% slower.  The numbers of v6 were -0.08% and 0.76%, respectively.

DAMON-based THP promotion/demotion scheme removes 100% memory overhead
of THP, and even shows 0.11% smaller system memory footprint, compared to THP
disabled case, while preserving 39.67% of THP speedup.  The numbers of v6 were
83.66% and 40.67%, respectively.

DAMON-based proactive reclamation scheme reduced 22.96% of system memory
fooprint and 89.49% of residential sets while incurring only 2.45% runtime
overhead in best case (parsec3/freqmine).  The numbers of v6 were 22.42%,
88.86% and 3.07%, respectively.

The detailed numbers are attached below.  For the detailed numbers of v6, refer
to the CV of v6 DAMON patchset:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200318112722.30143-1-sjpark@xxxxxxxxxx/

I hope this numbers make more REVIEWS/COMMENTS than my patchsets ;)


Thanks,
