Currently kdamond uses only one context per kthread
and most of its time it sleeps, so utilizing several
contexts can scale kdamond and allow it to use
another set of operations.
This patch-set implements support for multiple contexts
per kdamond.
In pseudo code previous versions worked like
the following:
while (!kdamond_should_stop()) {
/* prepare accesses for only 1 context */
prepare_accesses(damon_context);
sleep(sample_interval);
/* check accesses for only 1 context */
check_accesses(damon_context);
...
}
With this patch kdamond workflow will look
like the following:
while (!kdamond_shoule_stop()) {
/* prepare accesses for all contexts in kdamond */
damon_for_each_context(ctx, kdamond)
prepare_accesses(ctx);
sleep(sample_interval);
/* check_accesses for all contexts in kdamond */
damon_for_each_context(ctx, kdamond)
check_accesses(ctx);
...
}
To try this you can use modified kernel[1] and
damo[2]. I also have written few simple shell scripts[3]
to collect data for damo.
