Its filename is docs-mm-damon-design-document-attrs-only-monitoring.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/docs-mm-damon-design-document-attrs-only-monitoring.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take notice and to finish up reviews. Please do not hesitate to respond to review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally fixup patches in mm-new. The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there most days ------------------------------------------------------ From: SJ Park Subject: Docs/mm/damon/design: document attrs-only monitoring Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:46:46 -0700 Update DAMON design document for the attributes only monitoring mode.

But, because it is operated in page level, the overhead is proportional to the size of the memory. +Data Attributes-only Monitoring +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Data access is the primary monitoring information for DAMON. Hence it +:ref:`adjusts ` regions using the access +:ref:`counter ` (``nr_accesses``). In some +use cases, however, users may want some of :ref:`attributes +` to be the primary information. + +Data attributes-only monitoring mode supports this use case. For the mode, +each attribute probe has their priority weight value. Users can describe by +what combination of the attributes the primary information is decided, by +setting the priority weight value. If the total sum of the weights is not +zero, the mode is enabled. The regions adjustment mechanism uses the weighted +sum of the :ref:`probe hit counts ` instead +of ``nr_accesses`` in the case. When the mode is enabled, access monitoring is +automatically turned off. The access counter (``nr_accesses``) will always be +zero and not updated. Hence the mode is called Data Attributes "only" +monitoring. + Dynamic Target Space Updates Handling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from sj@kernel.org
