From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx> Changes from Previous Version ============================= - Add missed 'put_page()' calls - Support unmapped LRU pages Introduction ============ NOTE: This is only an RFC for future features of DAMON patchset[1], which is not merged in the mainline yet. The aim of this RFC is to show how DAMON would be expanded once it is merged in. So, if you have some interest in this RFC, please consider reviewing DAMON, either. DAMON[1] programming interface users can extend DAMON for any address space by configuring the address-space specific low level primitives with appropriate ones including their own implementations. However, because the implementation for the virtual address space is only available now, the users should implement their own for other address spaces. Worse yet, the user space users who rely on the debugfs interface and user space tool, cannot implement their own. This patchset implements another reference implementation of the low level primitives for the physical memory address space. With this change, hence, the kernel space users can monitor both the virtual and the physical address spaces by simply changing the configuration in the runtime. Further, this patchset links the implementation to the debugfs interface and the user space tool for the user space users. Note that the implementation supports only the user memory, as same to the idle page tracking feature.

You can also clone the complete git tree: $ git clone git://github.com/sjp38/linux -b cdamon/rfc/v8 The web is also available: https://github.com/sjp38/linux/releases/tag/cdamon/rfc/v8 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200817105137.19296-1-sjpark@xxxxxxxxxx/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200804142430.15384-1-sjpark@xxxxxxxxxx/ Sequence of Patches =================== The sequence of patches is as follow. The first 5 patches allow the user space users manually set the monitoring regions. The 1st and 2nd patches implements the features in the debugfs interface and the user space tool, respectively. Following two patches update unittests (the 3rd patch) and selftests (the 4th patch) for the new feature. Finally, the 5th patch documents this new feature. Following 5 patches implement the physical memory monitoring. The 6th patch implements the low level primitives. The 7th and the 8th patches links the primitives to the debugfs and the user space tool, respectively. The 9th patch further implement a handy NUMA specific memory monitoring feature on the user space tool. Finally, the 10th patch documents this new features.
