Nice suggestion, thank you! And we might later add more filter types for
different size huge pages. What about extending this to handle more general
case, though? That is, we can let the filter receives a range of the folio
size to match, like DAMOS_FILTER_TYPE_ADDR does. Then, the filter could be
used for any size of interest.
I think such extension is not a strong blocker for this patch. We can do the
extension later without breaking users by having the PAGE_PMD_SIZE as the
default value of the address range input. I have no strong opinion about this,
though.
What do you think?
Thanks,
SJ
