Subject: mm/damon/stat: add a parameter for reading kdamond pid
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 19:05:03 -0700

Patch series "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter".

DAMON_STAT doesn't provide the pid of its kdamond, unlike DAMON_RECLAIM
and DAMON_LRU_SORT.  This makes user-space management of DAMON_STAT
unnecessarily complicated.  Provide the information via a new parameter,
namely kdamond_pid, and document it.


This patch (of 2):

Knowing the pid of the kdamonds can help user-space management including
monitoring of DAMON's system resource consumption.  To make it easier,
DAMON_SYSFS, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT provide the pid information.
DAMON_STAT is not providing it, though.  Expose the pid of DAMON_STAT
kdamond via a new read-only module parameter, namely kdamond_pid.  This
also makes DAMON modules usage more standardized, because DAMON_RECLAIM
and DAMON_LRU_SORT also provide the information via their read-only
parameters of the same name.
