Subject: Docs/mm/damon/design: update for address range filters
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 21:43:04 +0000

Update DAMON design document's DAMOS filters section for address range
DAMOS filters.  Because address range filters are handled by the core
layer and it makes difference in schemes tried regions and schemes
statistics, clearly describe it.

-As of this writing, anonymous page type and memory cgroup type are supported by

-example, the memory cgroup filter type asks users to specify the file path of

+Currently, anonymous page, memory cgroup, and address range type filters are
+supported by the feature.  Some filter target types can require additional
+arguments.  For example, the memory cgroup filter type asks users to specify
+the file path of the memory cgroup for the filter, while the address range type
+asks the start and end addresses of the range.  Hence, users can apply specific
+schemes to only anonymous pages, non-anonymous pages, pages of specific
+cgroups, all pages excluding those of specific cgroups, pages in specific
+address range, and any combination of those.
+
+To handle filters efficiently, the address range type filter is handled by the
+core layer, while others are handled by operations set.  If a memory region is
+filtered by the core layer-handled filter, it is not counted as the scheme has
+tried to the region.  In contrast, if a memory regions is filtered by an
+operations set layer-handled filter, it is counted as the scheme has tried.
+The difference in accounting leads to changes in the statistics.
