Subject: mm/damon/stat: add a parameter for reading kdamond pid
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 19:05:03 -0700

Patch series "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter".

DAMON_STAT doesn't provide the pid of its kdamond, unlike DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT. This makes user-space management of DAMON_STAT unnecessarily complicated. Provide the information via a new parameter, namely kdamond_pid, and document it.

This patch (of 2):

Knowing the pid of the kdamonds can help user-space management including monitoring of DAMON's system resource consumption. To make it easier, DAMON_SYSFS, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT provide the pid information. DAMON_STAT is not providing it, though. Expose the pid of DAMON_STAT kdamond via a new read-only module parameter, namely kdamond_pid. This also makes DAMON modules usage more standardized, because DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT also provide the information via their read-only parameters of the same name.
