[PATCH v11 06/16] mm/damon: Split regions into 3 subregions if necessary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

Suppose that there are a very wide and cold region and a hot region, and
both regions are identified by DAMON.  And then, the middle small region
inside the very wide and cold region becomes hot.  DAMON will not be
able to identify this new region because the adaptive regions adjustment
mechanism splits each region to only two subregions.

This commit modifies the logic to split each region to 3 subregions if
such corner case is detected.
