SeongJae Park aa13779be6 mm/damon/core-test: add a test for damon_set_attrs()
Commit 5ff6e2fff8 ("mm/damon/core: fix divide error in
damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp()") fixed a bug by adding arguments
validation in damon_set_attrs().  Add a unit test for the added validation
to ensure the bug cannot occur again.

Ryan Roberts c33c794828 mm: ptep_get() conversion
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper.  This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE().  This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte.  Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best.  It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
//          COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
//          SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
//          MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so.  This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot.  The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get().  HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined.  Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n.  This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.

Hugh Dickins 7780d04046 mm/pagewalkers: ACTION_AGAIN if pte_offset_map_lock() fails
Simple walk_page_range() users should set ACTION_AGAIN to retry when
pte_offset_map_lock() fails.

No need to check pmd_trans_unstable(): that was precisely to avoid the
possiblity of calling pte_offset_map() on a racily removed or inserted THP
entry, but such cases are now safely handled inside it.  Likewise there is
no need to check pmd_none() or pmd_bad() before calling it.

Ryan Roberts c11d34fa13 mm/damon/ops-common: atomically test and clear young on ptes and pmds
It is racy to non-atomically read a pte, then clear the young bit, then
write it back as this could discard dirty information.  Further, it is bad
practice to directly set a pte entry within a table.  Instead clearing
young must go through the arch-provided helper,
ptep_test_and_clear_young() to ensure it is modified atomically and to
give the arch code visibility and allow it to check (and potentially
modify) the operation.

If an unevictable folio isolated successfully, there will be two more
_refcount.  The one from folio_isolate_lru() will be decreased in
folio_puback_lru(), but the other one from damon_get_folio() will be left
behind.  This causes a pin page.

Whatever the case, the _refcount from damon_get_folio() should be

Baolin Wang be2d575638 mm: change to return bool for folio_isolate_lru()
Patch series "Change the return value for page isolation functions", v3.

Now the page isolation functions did not return a boolean to indicate
success or not, instead it will return a negative error when failed
to isolate a page. So below code used in most places seem a boolean
success/failure thing, which can confuse people whether the isolation
is successful.

if (folio_isolate_lru(folio))
        continue;

Moreover the page isolation functions only return 0 or -EBUSY, and
most users did not care about the negative error except for few users,
thus we can convert all page isolation functions to return a boolean
value, which can remove the confusion to make code more clear.

No functional changes intended in this patch series.


This patch (of 4):

Now the folio_isolate_lru() did not return a boolean value to indicate
isolation success or not, however below code checking the return value can
make people think that it was a boolean success/failure thing, which makes
people easy to make mistakes (see the fix patch[1]).

if (folio_isolate_lru(folio))
	continue;

Thus it's better to check the negative error value expilictly returned by
folio_isolate_lru(), which makes code more clear per Linus's
suggestion[2].  Moreover Matthew suggested we can convert the isolation
functions to return a boolean[3], since most users did not care about the
negative error value, and can also remove the confusing of checking return
value.

So this patch converts the folio_isolate_lru() to return a boolean value,
which means return 'true' to indicate the folio isolation is successful,
and 'false' means a failure to isolation.  Meanwhile changing all users'
logic of checking the isolation state.

No functional changes intended.

SeongJae Park 2f5bef5a59 mm/damon/core: update monitoring results for new monitoring attributes
region->nr_accesses is the number of sampling intervals in the last
aggregation interval that access to the region has found, and region->age
is the number of aggregation intervals that its access pattern has
maintained.  Hence, the real meaning of the two fields' values is
depending on current sampling and aggregation intervals.

This means the values need to be updated for every sampling and/or
aggregation intervals updates.  As DAMON core doesn't, it is a duty of
in-kernel DAMON framework applications like DAMON sysfs interface, or the
userspace users.

Handling it in userspace or in-kernel DAMON application is complicated,
inefficient, and repetitive compared to doing the update in DAMON core. 
Do the update in DAMON core.

Huaisheng Ye 64517d6e12 mm/damon/core: skip apply schemes if empty
Sometimes there is no scheme in damon's context, for example just use damo
record to monitor workload's data access pattern.

If current damon context doesn't have any scheme in the list, kdamond has
no need to iterate over list of all targets and regions but do nothing.

So, skip apply schemes when ctx->schemes is empty.

SeongJae Park 98def236f6 mm/damon/core: implement damos filter
Patch series "implement DAMOS filtering for anon pages and/or specific
memory cgroups"

DAMOS let users do system operations in a data access pattern oriented
way.  The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat
accurate more than what user space could know in many cases.  However, in
some situation, users could know something more than the kernel about the
pattern or some special requirements for some types of memory or
processes.  For example, some users would have slow swap devices and knows
latency-ciritical processes and therefore want to use DAMON-based
proactive reclamation (DAMON_RECLAIM) for only non-anonymous pages of
non-latency-critical processes.

For such restriction, users could exclude the memory regions from the
initial monitoring regions and use non-dynamic monitoring regions update
monitoring operations set including fvaddr and paddr.  They could also
adjust the DAMOS target access pattern.  For dynamically changing memory
layout and access pattern, those would be not enough.

To help the case, add an interface, namely DAMOS filters, which can be
used to avoid the DAMOS actions be applied to specific types of memory, to
DAMON kernel API (damon.h).  At the moment, it supports filtering
anonymous pages and/or specific memory cgroups in or out for each DAMOS
scheme.

This patchset adds the support for all DAMOS actions that 'paddr'
monitoring operations set supports ('pageout', 'lru_prio', and
'lru_deprio'), and the functionality is exposed via DAMON kernel API
(damon.h) the DAMON sysfs interface (/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admins/), and
DAMON_RECLAIM module parameters.

Patches Sequence
----------------

First patch implements DAMOS filter interface to DAMON kernel API.  Second
patch makes the physical address space monitoring operations set to
support the filters from all supporting DAMOS actions.  Third patch adds
anonymous pages filter support to DAMON_RECLAIM, and the fourth patch
documents the DAMON_RECLAIM's new feature.  Fifth to seventh patches
implement DAMON sysfs files for support of the filters, and eighth patch
connects the file to use DAMOS filters feature.  Ninth patch adds simple
self test cases for DAMOS filters of the sysfs interface.  Finally,
following two patches (tenth and eleventh) document the new features and
interfaces.


This patch (of 11):

DAMOS lets users do system operation in a data access pattern oriented
way.  The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat
accurate more than what user space could know in many cases.  However, in
some situation, users could know something more than the kernel about the

processes.  For example, some users would have slow swap devices and knows
latency-ciritical processes and therefore want to use DAMON-based
proactive reclamation (DAMON_RECLAIM) for only non-anonymous pages of
non-latency-critical processes.

For such restriction, users could exclude the memory regions from the
initial monitoring regions and use non-dynamic monitoring regions update
monitoring operations set including fvaddr and paddr.  They could also
adjust the DAMOS target access pattern.  For dynamically changing memory
layout and access pattern, those would be not enough.

To help the case, add an interface, namely DAMOS filters, which can be
used to avoid the DAMOS actions be applied to specific types of memory, to
DAMON kernel API (damon.h).  At the moment, it supports filtering
anonymous pages and/or specific memory cgroups in or out for each DAMOS
scheme.

Note that this commit adds only the interface to the DAMON kernel API. 
The impelmentation should be made in the monitoring operations sets, and
following commits will add that.

SeongJae Park 5181b75f43 mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: implement schemes/tried_regions directory
For efficient and simple query-like DAMON monitoring results readings and
deep level investigations of DAMOS, DAMON kernel API
(include/linux/damon.h) users can use 'before_damos_apply' DAMON callback.
However, DAMON sysfs interface users don't have such option.

Add a directory, namely 'tried_regions', under each scheme directory to
use it as the interface for the purpose.  Note that this commit is
implementing only the directory but the data filling.

After the data filling change is made, users will be able to signal DAMON
to fill the directory with the regions that corresponding scheme has tried
to be applied.  By setting the access pattern of the scheme, users could
do the efficient query-like monitoring.

SeongJae Park 44467bbb7e mm/damon/core: add a callback for scheme target regions check
Patch series "efficiently expose damos action tried regions information".

DAMON users can retrieve the monitoring results via 'after_aggregation'
callbacks if the user is using the kernel API, or 'damon_aggregated'
tracepoint if the user is in the user space.  Those are useful if full
monitoring results are necessary.  However, if the user has interest in
only a snapshot of the results for some regions having specific access
pattern, the interfaces could be inefficient.  For example, some users
only want to know which memory regions are not accessed for more than a
specific time at the moment.

Also, some DAMOS users would want to know exactly to what memory regions
the schemes' actions tried to be applied, for a debugging or a tuning.  As
DAMOS has its internal mechanism for quota and regions prioritization, the
users would need to simulate DAMOS' mechanism against the monitoring
results.  That's unnecessarily complex.

This patchset implements DAMON kernel API callbacks and sysfs directory
for efficient exposure of the information for the use cases.  The new
callback will be called for each region when a DAMOS action is gonna tried
to be applied to it.  The sysfs directory will be called 'tried_regions'
and placed under each scheme sysfs directory.  Users can write a special
keyworkd, 'update_schemes_regions', to the 'state' file of a kdamond sysfs
directory.  Then, DAMON sysfs interface will fill the directory with the
information of regions that corresponding scheme action was tried to be
applied for next one aggregation interval.

Patches Sequence
----------------

The first one (patch 1) implements the callback for the kernel space
users.  Following two patches (patches 2 and 3) implements sysfs
directories for the information and its sub directories.  Two patches
(patches 4 and 5) for implementing the special keywords for filling the
data to and cleaning up the directories follow.  Patch 6 adds a selftest
for the new sysfs directory.  Finally, two patches (patches 7 and 8)
document the new feature in the administrator guide and the ABI document.


This patch (of 8):

Getting DAMON monitoring results of only specific access pattern (e.g.,
getting address ranges of memory that not accessed at all for two minutes)
can be useful for efficient monitoring of the system.  The information can
also be helpful for deep level investigation of DAMON-based operation
schemes.

For that, users need to record (in case of the user space users) or
iterate (in case of the kernel space users) full monitoring results and
filter it out for the specific access pattern.  In case of the DAMOS
investigation, users will even need to simulate DAMOS' quota and
prioritization mechanisms.  It's inefficient and complex.

Add a new DAMON callback that will be called before each scheme is applied
to each region.  DAMON kernel API users will be able to do the query-like
monitoring results collection, or DAMOS investigation in an efficient and
simple way using it.

Commits for providing the capability to the user space users will follow.
