2023-10-19Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: update for tried regions update time intervalSeongJae Park1-3/+3
The documentation says DAMOS tried regions update feature of DAMON sysfs interface is doing the update for one aggregation interval after the request is made. Since the introduction of the per-scheme apply interval, that behavior makes no much sense. Hence the implementation has changed to update the regions for each scheme for only its apply interval. Further update the document to reflect the real behavior.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that). - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention. Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees. Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up. - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to the single bit level. KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones. - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of memory into THPs. - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support file/shmem-backed pages. - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages. - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced memory consumption. - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song. - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner. - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :( - migration enhancements from Peter Xu - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM drivers, etc. - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn. - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand. - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging activity. - THP & KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng. - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox. - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov. - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia. - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups. - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song. - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

2022-10-04Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: note DAMON debugfs interface deprecation planSeongJae Park1-0/+5
Commit b18402726bd1 ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document DAMON sysfs interface") announced the DAMON debugfs interface deprecation plan, but it is not so aggressively announced. As the deprecation time is coming, this commit makes the announce more easy to be found by adding the note at the beginning of the DAMON debugfs interface usage document.

2022-10-04Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/start: mention the dependency as sysfs instead of ↵SeongJae Park1-10/+3
debugfs 'Getting Started' document of DAMON says DAMON user-space tool, damo[1], is using DAMON debugfs interface, and therefore it needs to ensure debugfs is mounted. However, the latest version of the tool is using DAMON sysfs interface. Moreover, DAMON debugfs interface is going to be deprecated as announced by commit b18402726bd1 ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document DAMON sysfs interface"). This commit therefore update the document to tell readers about DAMON sysfs interface dependency instead and never mention about debugfs interface, which will be deprecated.

2022-10-04Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon: rename the title of the documentSeongJae Park1-3/+3
The title of the DAMON document for admin-guide, 'Monitoring Data Accesses', could confuse readers in some ways. First of all, DAMON is not the only single way for data access monitoring. And the document is for not only the data access monitoring but also data access pattern based memory management optimizations (DAMOS). This commit updates the title to 'DAMON: Data Access MONitor', which more explicitly explains what the document describes.
