[PATCH 0/5] mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes
Posted by SJ Park 2 weeks, 5 days ago
DAMON supports data attributes monitoring.  However, only the physical
address space operation set (paddr) is supporting it.  Add the support
to the virtual address space operation set (vaddr).

Patch 1 adds prep_probes support to vaddr.  Patch 2 moves probe filter
handling code in paddr.c that can be reused by vaddr to ops-common.c.
Patch 3 adds minimum apply_probes support to vaddr.  Patch 4 extends the
support for hugetlb.  Patch 5 extends the support for pgidle_unset
filter.

Test
====

I confirmed it can capture ~48 mb working set of masim in vaddr mode,
like below.

First, start masim [1] to access ~48 mb memory at a time, in the
background.

    $ ./masim/masim.py run \
            --config_file ./masim/configs/stairs-50mb.cfg \
            --repeat 10 --quiet &

Note that the config says the working set is 50mb.  It is 50 million
bytes, so ~48 MiB.

Start traditional access monitoring of masim's virtual address space
using damo [2].

    $ sudo ./damo/damo start $(pidof masim)

Confirm it can capture the ~48 MiB working set as the 4-th region on the
snapshot.

    $ sudo ./damo/damo report access
    heatmap:

    total size: 557.027 MiB

Stop access monitoring and start probe-only mode access monitoring.

    $ sudo ./damo/damo stop
    $ sudo ./damo/damo start $(pidof masim) --probe_prep set_pgidle \
            --probe_filter allow pgidle_unset --probe_weight 1

Confirm it can also capture the ~48 MiB working set as the 11-th region
on the snapshot.

    $ sudo ./damo/damo report attrs
    heatmap:

Sashiko found no blocker for this series.  Sashiko send its findings to damon@
mailing list [1], and I reply those if anything needs to be clarified.  Please
refer to those for details.
