Subject: mm/damon/api: introduce DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_HUGEPAGE_SIZE
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 07:33:50 -0700

Patch series "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter".

Knowing whether a given memory is backed by a hugepage of specific size is useful for efficient utilization of hugepages. For easy monitoring of the information, introduce a new data attribute probe filter type, hugepage_size. It works similar to the DAMOS filter of the same name. It works for memory that is backed by a hugepage of a given size range.

Patch 1 introduces the new probe filter type to DAMON API and extends related data structures. Patch 2 updates probe filter commit logic to handle the size range. Patch 3 Updates the filtering logic to support the new type. Patch 4 adds new DAMON sysfs files for the size range. Patch 5 updates DAMON sysfs interface to fully support the new filter type. Patches 6-8 updates design, usage and ABI documents for the new feature.

This patch (of 8):

Introduce a new data attribute probe filter type, hugepage_size. It will work for memory that is backed by a hugepage of a given size range. Add a new damon_filter_type enum DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_HUGEPAGE_SIZE to identify the type. Add two new fields in the damon_filter struct for saving the size range.
