Subject: mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: implement DAMOS tried total bytes file
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 21:32:17 +0000
Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: implement DAMOS tried total bytes
file".
The tried_regions directory of DAMON sysfs interface is useful for
retrieving monitoring results snapshot or DAMOS debugging. However, for
common use case that need to monitor only the total size of the scheme
tried regions (e.g., monitoring working set size), the kernel overhead for
directory construction and user overhead for reading the content could be
high if the number of monitoring region is not small. This patchset
implements DAMON sysfs files for efficient support of the use case.
The first patch implements the sysfs file to reduce the user space
overhead, and the second patch implements a command for reducing the
kernel space overhead.
The third patch adds a selftest for the new file, and following two
patches update documents.

This patch (of 5):
The tried_regions directory can be used for retrieving the monitoring
results snapshot for regions of specific access pattern, by setting the
scheme's action as 'stat' and the access pattern as required. While the
interface provides every detail of the monitoring results, some use cases
including working set size monitoring requires only the total size of the
regions. For such cases, users should read all the information and
calculate the total size of the regions. However, it could incur high
overhead if the number of regions is high. Add a file for retrieving only
the information, namely 'total_bytes' file. It allows users to get the
total size by reading only the file.
