[RFC PATCH 01/13] mm/damon/core: introduce address range type damos filter

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Fri Jul 28 2023 - 16:35:06 EST


Users can know special characteristic of specific address ranges. NUMA
nodes or special objects or buffers in virtual address space could be
such examples. For such cases, DAMOS schemes could required to be
applied to only specific address ranges. Implement yet another type of
DAMOS filter for the purpose.

Note that the existing filter types, namely anon pages and memcg DAMOS
filters needed page level type check. Because such check can be done
efficiently in the opertions set layer, those filters are handled in
operations set layer. Specifically, only paddr operations set
implementation supports these filters. Also, because statistics
counting is done in the DAMON core layer, the regions that filtered out
by these filters are counted as tried but failed to the statistics.

Unlike those, address range based filters can efficiently handled in the
core layer. Hence, do the handling in the layer, and count the regions
that filtered out by those as the scheme has not tried for the region.
This difference should clearly documented.
