cover mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter

DAMON can do flexible data attributes monitoring. The classical data access monitoring can also be done using the attributes monitoring. The access event is just one of the data attributes that DAMON supports. Users do monitoring to make some actions based on it. DAMOS is a feature for automating that. However, DAMOS cannot utilize the data attributes monitoring results. It is still Data "Access" Monitoring-based Operation Schemes. It requires users to set the target "access" pattern.

DAMOS core filter is effectively the same as the target access pattern. It is just a more generalized and flexible way of describing the operation action target region. Introduce a new DAMOS core filter type, probe_hits_wsum. It specifies the filter target based on a range of the probe hits weighted sum. Using this, users can apply DAMOS actions to regions of specific data attributes pattern.

Note that the classic target access pattern still works. Hence the target nr_accesses range should still be properly configured. The new filter would be used in only data attributes-only mode. In the mode, classic access monitoring is just turned off, and therefore nr_accesses of regions are always zero. Users could simply set the target nr_accesses range to include the zero nr_Accesses regions.

Patches Sequence
================

Patch 1 updates the DAMON kernel API for the new filter type. Patch 2 extends damon_probe_hits_wsum() to do the calculation based on moving sum. Patch 3 implements the filter type in the core layer. Patch 4 refactors DAMON sysfs interface internal data structure for efficient reuse of data structure for the probe hits weighted sum range user inputs. Patch 5 updates DAMON sysfs interface to support the new filter type. Patches 6 and 7 update design and usage documents for the new filter type, respectively.

RFC PATCH 1/7 mm/damon/api: introduce DAMOS_FILTER_TYPE_PROBE_HITS_WSUM

Update DAMON kernel API to introduce new DAMOS core filter type, PROBE_HITS_WSUM. It will allow API callers to describe the DAMOS action target regions based on their probe_hits weighted sum. For describing the filtering target weighted sum range, add two type-dependent union fields to damos_filter.

Could the second sentence be updated to explicitly mention DAMOS_FILTER_TYPE_PROBE_HITS_WSUM so developers reading the kernel-doc for enum damos_filter_type know exactly when its evaluation phase occurs?

RFC PATCH 2/7 mm/damon/core: extend probe_hits_wsum() for moving sum based calculation

In reply to SJ Park

damon_probe_hits_wsum() is being called only in aggregation time. In future, it could also be used by DAMOS. In this case, since DAMOS uses its own apply_interval, it could be called in sampling time. Then using the not yet fully aggregated probe_hits could result in suboptimum outcomes. Extend damon_probe_hits_wsum() to get the weighted sum based on moving sum to prepare the DAMOS usage.

RFC PATCH 3/7 mm/damon/core: support probe_hits_wsum damos core filter

In reply to SJ Park

Implement probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter support in the core layer. Make three small changes for the support. First, update damos_filter_for_ops() to treat probe_hits_wsum filter as core filter. Second, Update destination damos_filter->range_{min,max} for probe_hits_wsum type damos filter commits. Third, extend damos_filter_match() to handle probe_hits_wsum type filter. Calculate the weighted sum of the given region and compare it with the given filter's target weighted sum range.

RFC PATCH 4/7 mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: rename sysfs_filter->sz_range to range_{min,max}

In reply to SJ Park

DAMON sysfs interface provides 'min' and 'max' files under the DAMOS filter directory. The purpose is setting the general range arguments for hugepage_size like filters that require range arguments. So far, hugepage_size was the only filter using it. Hence sz_range field of damon_sysfs_scheme_filter struct was connected to the files.

In future, we could add a new filter that can reuse the 'min' and 'max' files. And the filter might use a range of a type that is not size. For example, probe_hits weighted sum. In this case, simply reusing the sz_range field would make it a little confusing. Rename sz_range to range_{min,max} to avoid such confusion.

Re: [RFC PATCH v2.2 4/7] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: rename sysfs_filter->sz_range to range_{min,max}

Sashiko has reviewed this patch and found no issues. It looks great!
Quoted 6 lines

DAMON sysfs interface provides 'min' and 'max' files under the DAMOS filter directory. The purpose is setting the general range arguments for hugepage_size like filters that require range arguments. So far, hugepage_size was the only filter using it. Hence sz_range field of damon_sysfs_scheme_filter struct was connected to the files.

Quoted 7 lines

In future, we could add a new filter that can reuse the 'min' and 'max' files. And the filter might use a range of a type that is not size. For example, probe_hits weighted sum. In this case, simply reusing the sz_range field would make it a little confusing. Rename sz_range to range_{min,max} to avoid such confusion.

RFC PATCH 5/7 mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: support probe_hits_wsum damos core filter

In reply to SJ Park

Extend DAMON sysfs interface to support probe_hits_wsum input. Also update sysfs input based scheme build logic to setup the min/max probe hits weighted sum range as user provided.
