mm/damon/core: introduce per-context region priorities histogram buffer
Patch series "replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with
per-context one".
Each DAMOS quota (struct damos_quota) maintains a histogram for total
regions size per its prioritization score. DAMOS calcultes minimum
prioritization score of regions that are ok to apply the DAMOS action to
while respecting the quota. The histogram is constructed only for the
calculation of the minimum score in damos_adjust_quota() for each quota
which called by kdamond_fn().
Hence, there is no real reason to have per-quota histogram. Only
per-kdamond histogram is needed, since parallel kdamonds could have races
otherwise. The current implementation is only wasting the memory, and can
easily cause unintended stack usage[1].
So, introducing a per-kdamond histogram and replacing the per-quota one
with it would be the right solution for the issue. However, supporting
multiple DAMON contexts per kdamond is still an ongoing work[2] without a
clear estimated time of arrival. Meanwhile, per-context histogram could
be an effective and straightforward solution having no blocker. Let's fix
the problem first in the way.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce per-context buffer for region priority scores-total size
histogram. Same to the per-quota one (->histogram of struct damos_quota),
the new buffer is hidden from DAMON API users by being defined as a
private field of DAMON context structure. It is dynamically allocated and
de-allocated at the beginning and ending of the execution of the kdamond
by kdamond_fn() itself.
