Subject: [PATCH 0/5] mm/damon/sysfs: Add commands useful for using migration dests
Date: Tue,  5 Aug 2025 11:20:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250805162022.4920-1-bijan311@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Bijan Tabatabai <bijantabatab@micron.com>

This patchset adds two DAMON commands, commit_schemes_dests and
wait_for_schemes_apply, that I have found useful for using a migrate_hot
scheme with migration dests.

The commit_schemes_dests command, similar to the existing
commit_schemes_quota_goals, is used to commit only the dests fields of
schemes. This has a couple of benefits:
1) It is more efficient than recommitting all the DAMON data.
2) Doing a full commit resets the aggregation and ops_update intervals. If
a user sends the full commit command frequently (relatively to those
intervals) the aggregation and ops_update events will be prevented from
triggering. Having a separate commit command side steps this problem.

The wait_for_schemes_apply command causes the calling thread to wait until
all schemes have been applied. It does this by calling damos_walk() with a
NULL walk_fn. This can be useful, for example, if a user wants to know when
new scheme parameters they've committed have been applied. Another use case
could be if a user wants to record the system state every time a scheme is
applied for debuging purposes.

The functionality of wait_for_schemes_apply can be achieved with the
existing update_schemes_tried_bytes and update_schemes_tried_regions
commands. However, having a separate command avoids extra work and makes
user intent clearer when used in scripts.

The first two patches implement the commit_schemes_dests command.
The third patch implements the wait_for_schemes_apply command.
The fourth and fifth patches add documentation for these new commands.
