Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/1] This patch set introces a new action: DAMOS_COLLAPSE.
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 14:56:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323145646.4165053-1-gutierrez.asier@huawei-partners.com> (raw)

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

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     |
