Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/9] mm/damon/core: introduce failed region quota charge ratio
Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 09:39:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260404163943.89278-2-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260404163943.89278-1-sj@kernel.org>
DAMOS quota is charged to all DAMOS action application attempted memory,
regardless of how much of the memory the action was successful and
failed. This makes understanding quota behavior without DAMOS stat but
only with end level metrics (e.g., increased amount of free memory for
DAMOS_PAGEOUT action) difficult. Also, charging action-failed memory
same as action-successful memory is somewhat unfair, as successful
action application will induce more overhead in most cases.
Introduce DAMON core API for setting the charge ratio for such
action-failed memory. It allows API callers to specify the ratio in a
flexible way, by setting the numerator and the denominator.
