From: Asier Gutierrez <gutierrez.asier@huawei-partners.com>

This patch set introces a new action: DAMOS_COLLAPSE.

For DAMOS_HUGEPAGE and DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE to work, khugepaged should be
working, since it relies on hugepage_madvise to add a new slot. This
slot should be picked up by khugepaged and eventually collapse (or
not, if we are using DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE) the pages. If THP is not
enabled, khugepaged will not be working, and therefore no collapse
will happen.

DAMOS_COLLAPSE eventually calls madvise_collapse, which will collapse
the address range synchronously.

This new action may be required to support autotuning with hugepage as
a goal.

Above all makes sense.  Thank you for posting this patch.

Do you have some test results that you can also share together?  It would be
nice if it can demonstrate the benefit of DAMOS_COLLAPSE over DAMOS_HUGEPAGE.

Seems the above link is just added by a mistake?  If not, please clarify.

sashiko.dev adds [1] below comments.  Let me also add my comments in line.

: This isn't a bug, but should a kernel-doc entry for @DAMOS_COLLAPSE be added
: to the comment block above this enum?

Makes sense.  'make htmldocs' may complain otherwise.  Asier, could you please
add the kernel-doc comment for DAMOS_COLLAPSE in the next spin?

: 
: Also, does inserting DAMOS_COLLAPSE here shift the integer values of the
: subsequent enum entries like DAMOS_STAT?
: 
: The DAMON sysfs selftest script (tools/testing/selftests/damon/sysfs.py) uses
: a hardcoded dictionary action_val to map string names to their integer enum
: values.
: 
: If the enum values shift, the test's assertion:
: 
: assert_true(dump['action'] == action_val[scheme.action])
: 
: might fail when checking the struct memory via drgn. Could the python test
: dictionary be updated to reflect the new values, or could the new action be
: added at the end of the enum list?

There is no test that uses DAMOS actions that defined after DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE,
so no real test will break.  But this is a good point.  It would be better to
update the hard-coded value together.  Asier, could you also update the
'action_val' dict of assert_scheme_committed() function in
tools/testing/selftets/damon/sysfs.py for the updated enum value in the next
version?

Hi SJ,

First of all, I just noticed that this was sent as v2 RFC, while
it should be v1. Bear in mind that the next series will also be
v2.

OK, I will split this patch into 2: one with the code and the other one with
the documentation.

Does the 'documentation' mean the change for 'design.rst'?  Or, the kernel-doc
comment?  If that's the former case (separating 'design.rst' side change as
another patch), that's completely good for me.

If that's the latter case (separating kernel-doc comment addition as another
patch), that will make the commit trigger document build error, and the error
will be fixed only after the followup commit is applied.  Please ensure keeping
'damon.h' side changes as a single patch, and therefore no warning or breaks in
the middle of the patch series is introduced (and later fixed).

* [RFC PATCH v2 1/1] mm/damon: support MADV_COLLAPSE via DAMOS_COLLAPSE scheme action

From: Asier Gutierrez <gutierrez.asier@huawei-partners.com>

This patch set introces a new action:  DAMOS_COLLAPSE.

For DAMOS_HUGEPAGE and DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE to work, khugepaged should be
working, since it relies on hugepage_madvise to add a new slot. This
slot should be picked up by khugepaged and eventually collapse (or
not, if we are using DAMOS_NOHUGEPAGE) the pages. If THP is not
enabled, khugepaged will not be working, and therefore no collapse
will happen.

DAMOS_COLLAPSE eventually calls madvise_collapse, which will collapse
the address range synchronously.

This new action may be required to support autotuning with hugepage as
a goal[1].

---------
Benchmarks:

T n: THP never
T m: THP madvise
D h: DAMON action hugepage
D c: DAMON action collapse

+------------------+----------+----------+----------+
|                  | T n, D h | T m, D h | T n, D c |
+------------------+----------+----------+----------+
| Total memory use | 2.07     | 2.09     | 2.07     |
| Huge pages       | 0        | 1.3      | 1.25     |
+------------------+----------+----------+----------+

Changes
---------
v1 -> v2:
Added benchmarks
Added damos_filter_type documentation for new action to fix kernel-doc
