+Action-failed Memory Charging Ratio
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+DAMOS action to a given region can fail for some subsets of the memory of the
+region.  For example, if the action is ``pageout`` and the region has some
+unreclaimable pages, applying the action to the pages will fail.  The amount of
+system resource that is taken for such failed action applications is usually
+different from that for successful action applications.  For such cases, users
+can set different charging ratio for such failed memory.  The ratio can be
+specified using ``fail_charge_num`` and ``fail_charge_denom`` parameters.  The
+two parameters represent the numerator and denominator of the ratio.  The
+feature is enabled only if ``fail_charge_denom`` is not zero.
+
+For example, let's suppose a DAMOS action is applied to a region of 1,000 MiB
+size.  The action is successfully applied to only 700 MiB of the region.
+``fail_charge_num`` and ``fail_charge_denom`` are set to ``1`` and ``1024``,
+respectively.  Then only 700 MiB and 300 KiB of size (``700 MiB + 300 MiB * 1 /
+1024``) will be charged.
