Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu

 - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying

 - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola

 - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW
   handling

 - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin

 - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki

 - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew
   Wilcox

 - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use
   it

 - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the
   __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword.

   This series should have been in the non-MM tree, my bad

 - Naoya Horiguchi improved the interaction between memory poisoning and
   memory section removal for huge pages

 - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park

 - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages

 - Peter Xu utilized the PTE marker code for handling swapin errors

 - Hugh Dickins reworked compound page mapcount handling, simplifying it
   and making it more efficient

 - Removal of the autonuma savedwrite infrastructure from Nadav Amit and
   David Hildenbrand

 - zram support for multiple compression streams from Sergey Senozhatsky

 - David Hildenbrand reworked the GUP code's R/O long-term pinning so
   that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which
   didn't work very well anyway

 - Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain
   enabled during per-cpu page allocations

 - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper

 - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to
   prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of
   pagecache

 - David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW
   breaking

 - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's
   zsmalloc backend

 - Brian Foster has fixed a longstanding corner-case oddity in
   file[map]_write_and_wait_range()

 - sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang
   Chen

 - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode
   work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several
   filesystems. They only need .writepages()

 - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target
   beancounting

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit
   machines

 - Many singleton patches, as usual

mm/damon/core: add a callback for scheme target regions check

2022-11-30T23:58:43+00:00

Patch series "efficiently expose damos action tried regions information".

DAMON users can retrieve the monitoring results via 'after_aggregation'
callbacks if the user is using the kernel API, or 'damon_aggregated'
tracepoint if the user is in the user space.  Those are useful if full
monitoring results are necessary.  However, if the user has interest in
only a snapshot of the results for some regions having specific access
pattern, the interfaces could be inefficient.  For example, some users
only want to know which memory regions are not accessed for more than a
specific time at the moment.

Also, some DAMOS users would want to know exactly to what memory regions
the schemes' actions tried to be applied, for a debugging or a tuning.  As
DAMOS has its internal mechanism for quota and regions prioritization, the
users would need to simulate DAMOS' mechanism against the monitoring
results.  That's unnecessarily complex.

This patchset implements DAMON kernel API callbacks and sysfs directory
for efficient exposure of the information for the use cases.  The new
callback will be called for each region when a DAMOS action is gonna tried
to be applied to it.  The sysfs directory will be called 'tried_regions'
and placed under each scheme sysfs directory.  Users can write a special
keyworkd, 'update_schemes_regions', to the 'state' file of a kdamond sysfs
directory.  Then, DAMON sysfs interface will fill the directory with the
information of regions that corresponding scheme action was tried to be
applied for next one aggregation interval.

Patches Sequence
----------------

The first one (patch 1) implements the callback for the kernel space
users.  Following two patches (patches 2 and 3) implements sysfs
directories for the information and its sub directories.  Two patches
(patches 4 and 5) for implementing the special keywords for filling the
data to and cleaning up the directories follow.  Patch 6 adds a selftest
for the new sysfs directory.  Finally, two patches (patches 7 and 8)
document the new feature in the administrator guide and the ABI document.


This patch (of 8):

Getting DAMON monitoring results of only specific access pattern (e.g.,
getting address ranges of memory that not accessed at all for two minutes)
can be useful for efficient monitoring of the system.  The information can
also be helpful for deep level investigation of DAMON-based operation
schemes.

For that, users need to record (in case of the user space users) or
iterate (in case of the kernel space users) full monitoring results and
filter it out for the specific access pattern.  In case of the DAMOS
investigation, users will even need to simulate DAMOS' quota and
prioritization mechanisms.  It's inefficient and complex.

Add a new DAMON callback that will be called before each scheme is applied
to each region.  DAMON kernel API users will be able to do the query-like
monitoring results collection, or DAMOS investigation in an efficient and
simple way using it.

Commits for providing the capability to the user space users will follow.

mm/damon: move sz_damon_region to damon_sz_region

2022-10-13T01:51:49+00:00

Rename sz_damon_region() to damon_sz_region(), and move it to
"include/linux/damon.h", because in many places, we can to use this func.

mm/damon: deduplicate damon_{reclaim,lru_sort}_apply_parameters()

2022-10-03T21:03:31+00:00

The bodies of damon_{reclaim,lru_sort}_apply_parameters() contain
duplicates.  This commit adds a common function
damon_set_region_biggest_system_ram_default() to remove the duplicates.

mm/damon: return void from damon_set_schemes()

2022-10-03T21:03:27+00:00

There is no point in returning an int from damon_set_schemes().  It always
returns 0 which is meaningless for the caller, so change it to return void
directly.

mm/damon/core: reduce parameters for damon_set_attrs()

2022-10-03T21:03:10+00:00

Number of parameters for 'damon_set_attrs()' is six.  As it could be
confusing and verbose, this commit reduces the number by receiving single
pointer to a 'struct damon_attrs'.
