[PATCH 0/2] mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages
Posted by SeongJae Park 2 weeks, 1 day ago
DAMON_STAT is intentionally providing limited information for easy
consumption of the information.  From production fleet level usages,
below limitations are found, though.

The aggregation interval of DAMON_STAT represents the granularity of the
memory_idle_ms_percentiles.  But the interval is auto-tuned and not
exposed to users, so users cannot know the granularity.

All memory regions of non-zero (positive) nr_accesses are treated as
having zero idle time.  A significant portion of production systems have
such zero idle time.  Hence breakdown of warm and hot data is nearly
impossible.

Make following changes to overcome the limitations.  Expose the
auto-tuned aggregation interval with a new parameter named
aggr_interval_us.  Expose the age of non-zero nr_accesses (how long >0
access frequency the region retained) regions as a negative idle time.
