If a scheme is set to not applied to any monitoring target region for any
reasons including the target access pattern, quota, filters, or
watermarks, writing 'update_schemes_tried_regions' to 'state' DAMON sysfs
file can indefinitely hang. Fix the case by implementing a timeout for
the operation. The time limit is two apply intervals of each scheme.

Regions split function ('damon_split_region_at()') is called at the
beginning of an aggregation interval, and when DAMOS applying the actions
and charging quota. Because 'nr_accesses' fields of all regions are reset
at the beginning of each aggregation interval, and DAMOS was applying the
action at the end of each aggregation interval, there was no need to copy
the 'nr_accesses' field to the split-out region.
However, commit 42f994b714 ("mm/damon/core: implement scheme-specific
apply interval") made DAMOS applies action on its own timing interval.
Hence, 'nr_accesses' should also copied to split-out regions, but the
commit didn't. Fix it by copying it.

This commit addresses the issue by ensuring that '__damos_filter_out()'

When user input is committed online, DAMON sysfs interface is ignoring the
user input for the monitoring target regions. Such request is valid and
useful for fixed monitoring target regions-based monitoring ops like
'paddr' or 'fvaddr'.
Update the region boundaries as user specified, too. Note that the
monitoring results of the regions that overlap between the latest
monitoring target regions and the new target regions are preserved.
Treat empty monitoring target regions user request as a request to just
make no change to the monitoring target regions. Otherwise, users should
set the monitoring target regions same to current one for every online
input commit, and it could be challenging for dynamic monitoring target
regions update DAMON ops like 'vaddr'. If the user really need to remove
all monitoring target regions, they can simply remove the target and then
create the target again with empty target regions.

damon_sysfs_set_targets(), which updates the targets of the context for
online commitment, do not remove targets that removed from the
corresponding sysfs files. As a result, more than intended targets of the
context can exist and hence consume memory and monitoring CPU resource
more than expected.
Fix it by removing all targets of the context and fill up again using the
user input. This could cause unnecessary memory dealloc and realloc
operations, but this is not a hot code path. Also, note that damon_target
is stateless, and hence no data is lost.

sense to wait for it while DAMON is deactivated by the watermarks. That
for deactivated status still makes sense, but the aggregation interval
based assumption is invalid now because each scheme can has its own apply
interval. For schemes having larger than the aggregation or watermarks
check interval, DAMOS tried regions update request can be finished without
the update. Avoid the case by explicitly checking the status of the

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for
only one apply interval".
DAMOS tried regions update feature of DAMON sysfs interface is doing the
update for one aggregation interval after the request is made. Since the
per-scheme apply interval is supported, that behavior makes no much sense.
That is, the tried regions directory will have regions from multiple
DAMON monitoring results snapshots, or no region for apply intervals that
much shorter than, or longer than the aggregation interval, respectively.
Update the behavior to update the regions for each scheme for only its
apply interval, and update the document.
Since DAMOS apply interval is the aggregation by default, this change
makes no visible behavioral difference to old users who don't explicitly
set the apply intervals.
Patches Sequence
----------------
The first two patches makes schemes of apply intervals that much shorter
or longer than the aggregation interval to keep the maximum and minimum
times for continuing the update. After the two patches, the update aligns
with the each scheme's apply interval.
Finally, the third patch updates the document to reflect the behavior.
This patch (of 3):
DAMON_SYSFS exposes every DAMON-found region that eligible for applying
the scheme action for one aggregation interval. However, each DAMON-based
operation scheme has its own apply interval. Hence, for a scheme that
having its apply interval much smaller than the aggregation interval,
DAMON_SYSFS will expose the scheme regions that applied to more than one
DAMON monitoring results snapshots. Since the purpose of DAMON tried
regions is exposing single snapshot, this makes no much sense. Track
progress of each scheme's tried regions update and avoid the case.

damon_sysfs_handle_cmd() can further be finished before the callback is
invoked. Then, damon_sysfs_before_terminate() unlocks damon_sysfs_lock,
which is not locked by anyone. This happens because the callback function
assumes damon_sysfs_cmd_request_callback() should be called before it.

DAMON-based operation schemes are applied for every aggregation interval.
That was mainly because schemes were using nr_accesses, which be complete
to be used for every aggregation interval. However, the schemes are now
using nr_accesses_bp, which is updated for each sampling interval in a way
that reasonable to be used. Therefore, there is no reason to apply
schemes for each aggregation interval.
The unnecessary alignment with aggregation interval was also making some
use cases of DAMOS tricky. Quotas setting under long aggregation interval
is one such example. Suppose the aggregation interval is ten seconds, and
there is a scheme having CPU quota 100ms per 1s. The scheme will actually
uses 100ms per ten seconds, since it cannobe be applied before next
aggregation interval. The feature is working as intended, but the results
might not that intuitive for some users. This could be fixed by updating
the quota to 1s per 10s. But, in the case, the CPU usage of DAMOS could
look like spikes, and would actually make a bad effect to other
CPU-sensitive workloads.
Implement a dedicated timing interval for each DAMON-based operation
scheme, namely apply_interval. The interval will be sampling interval
aligned, and each scheme will be applied for its apply_interval. The
interval is set to 0 by default, and it means the scheme should use the
aggregation interval instead. This avoids old users getting any
behavioral difference.

DAMOS was actually using nr_accesses in the past, but it uses

Note that this doesn't expose nr_accesses_bp as is (in basis point), but
after converting it to the natural number by dividing the value by 10,000.

Patch series "mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals".
DAMON-based operation schemes are applied for every aggregation interval.
That is mainly because schemes are using nr_accesses, which be complete to
be used for every aggregation interval.
This makes some DAMOS use cases be tricky. Quota setting under long
aggregation interval is one such example. Suppose the aggregation
interval is ten seconds, and there is a scheme having CPU quota 100ms per
1s. The scheme will actually uses 100ms per ten seconds, since it cannobe
be applied before next aggregation interval. The feature is working as
intended, but the results might not that intuitive for some users. This
could be fixed by updating the quota to 1s per 10s. But, in the case, the
CPU usage of DAMOS could look like spikes, and actually make a bad effect
to other CPU-sensitive workloads.
Also, with such huge aggregation interval, users may want schemes to be
applied more frequently.
DAMON provides nr_accesses_bp, which is updated for each sampling interval
in a way that reasonable to be used. By using that instead of
nr_accesses, DAMOS can have its own time interval and mitigate abovely
mentioned issues.
This patchset makes DAMOS schemes to use nr_accesses_bp instead of
nr_accesses, and have their own timing intervals. Also update DAMOS tried
regions sysfs files and DAMOS before_apply tracepoint to use the new data
as their source. Note that the interval is zero by default, and it is
interpreted to use the aggregation interval instead. This avoids making
user-visible behavioral changes.
Patches Seuqeunce
-----------------
The first patch (patch 1/9) makes DAMOS uses nr_accesses_bp instead of
nr_accesses, and following two patches (patches 2/9 and 3/9) updates DAMON
sysfs interface for DAMOS tried regions and the DAMOS before_apply
tracespoint to use nr_accesses_bp instead of nr_accesses, respectively.
The following two patches (patches 4/9 and 5/9) implements the
scheme-specific apply interval for DAMON kernel API users and update the
design document for the new feature.
Finally, the following four patches (patches 6/9, 7/9, 8/9 and 9/9) add
support of the feature in DAMON sysfs interface, add a simple selftest
test case, and document the new file on the usage and the ABI documents,
repsectively.
This patch (of 9):
DAMON provides nr_accesses_bp, which becomes same to nr_accesses * 10000
for every aggregation interval, but updated every sampling interval with a
reasonable accuracy. Since DAMON-based operation schemes are applied in
every aggregation interval using nr_accesses, using nr_accesses_bp instead
will make no difference to users. Meanwhile, it allows DAMOS to apply the
schemes in a time interval that less than the aggregation interval. It
could be useful and more flexible for some cases. Do it.

damon_merge_regions_of(), which is called for each aggregation interval,
updates nr_accesses_bp to nr_accesses * 10000. However, nr_accesses_bp is
updated for each sampling interval via damon_moving_sum() using the
aggregation interval as the moving time window. And by the definition of
the algorithm, the value becomes same to discrete-window based sum for
each time window-aligned time. Hence, nr_accesses_bp will be same to
nr_accesses * 10000 for each aggregation interval without explicit update.
Remove the unnecessary update of nr_accesses_bp in
damon_merge_regions_of().

Add yet another representation of the access rate of each region, namely
nr_accesses_bp. It is just same to the nr_accesses but represents the
value in basis point (1 in 10,000), and updated at once in every
aggregation interval. That is, moving_accesses_bp is just nr_accesses *
10000. This may seems useless at the moment. However, it will be useful
for representing less than one nr_accesses value that will be needed to
make moving sum-based nr_accesses.

For values that continuously change, moving average or sum are good ways
to provide fast updates while handling temporal and errorneous variability
of the value. For example, the access rate counter (nr_accesses) is
calculated as a sum of the number of positive sampled access check results
that collected during a discrete time window (aggregation interval), and
hence it handles temporal and errorneous access check results, but
provides the update only for every aggregation interval. Using a moving
sum method for that could allow providing the value for every sampling
interval. That could be useful for getting monitoring results snapshot or
running DAMOS in fine-grained timing.
However, supporting the moving sum for cases that number of samples in the
time window is arbirary could impose high overhead, since the number of
past values that it needs to keep could be too high. The nr_accesses
would also be one of the cases. To mitigate the overhead, implement a
pseudo-moving sum function that only provides an estimated pseudo-moving
sum. It assumes there was no error in last discrete time window and
subtract constant portion of last discrete time window sum.
Note that the function is not strictly implementing the moving sum, but it
keeps a property of moving sum, which makes the value same to the
dsicrete-window based sum for each time window-aligned timing. Hence,
people collecting the value in the old timings would show no difference.

When getting mm_struct of the monitoring target process fails, there wil
be no need to increase the access rate counter (nr_accesses) of the
regions for the process. Hence, damon_va_check_accesses() skips calling
damon_update_region_access_rate() in the case. This breaks the assumption
that damon_update_region_access_rate() is called for every region, for
every sampling interval. Call the function for every region even in the
case. This might increase the overhead in some cases, but such case would
not be frequent, so no significant impact is really expected.

Patch series "mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate".
DAMON checks the access to each region for every sampling interval,
increase the access rate counter of the region, namely nr_accesses, if the
access was made. For every aggregation interval, the counter is reset.
The counter is exposed to users to be used as a metric showing the
relative access rate (frequency) of each region. In other words, DAMON
provides access rate of each region in every aggregation interval. The
aggregation avoids temporal access pattern changes making things
confusing. However, this also makes a few DAMON-related operations to
unnecessarily need to be aligned to the aggregation interval. This can
restrict the flexibility of DAMON applications, especially when the
aggregation interval is huge.
To provide the monitoring results in finer-grained timing while keeping
handling of temporal access pattern change, this patchset implements a
pseudo-moving sum based access rate metric. It is pseudo-moving sum
because strict moving sum implementation would need to keep all values for
last time window, and that could incur high overhead of there could be
arbitrary number of values in a time window. Especially in case of the
nr_accesses, since the sampling interval and aggregation interval can
arbitrarily set and the past values should be maintained for every region,
it could be risky. The pseudo-moving sum assumes there were no temporal
access pattern change in last discrete time window to remove the needs for
keeping the list of the last time window values. As a result, it beocmes
not strict moving sum implementation, but provides a reasonable accuracy.
Also, it keeps an important property of the moving sum. That is, the
moving sum becomes same to discrete-window based sum at the time that
aligns to the time window. This means using the pseudo moving sum based
nr_accesses makes no change to users who shows the value for every
aggregation interval.
Patches Sequence
----------------
The sequence of the patches is as follows. The first four patches are for
preparation of the change. The first two (patches 1 and 2) implements a
helper function for nr_accesses update and eliminate corner case that
skips use of the function, respectively. Following two (patches 3 and 4)
respectively implement the pseudo-moving sum function and its simple unit
test case.
Two patches for making DAMON to use the pseudo-moving sum follow. The
fifthe one (patch 5) introduces a new field for representing the
pseudo-moving sum-based access rate of each region, and the sixth one
makes the new representation to actually updated with the pseudo-moving
sum function.
Last two patches (patches 7 and 8) makes followup fixes for skipping
unnecessary updates and marking the moving sum function as static,
respectively.
This patch (of 8):
Each DAMON operarions set is updating nr_accesses field of each
damon_region for each of their access check results, from the
check_accesses() callback. Directly accessing the field could make things
complex to manage and change in future. Define and use a dedicated
function for the purpose.

DAMON sleeps for sampling interval after each sampling, and check if the
aggregation interval and the ops update interval have passed using
ktime_get_coarse_ts64() and baseline timestamps for the intervals. That
design is for making the operations occur at deterministic timing
regardless of the time that spend for each work. However, it turned out
it is not that useful, and incur not-that-intuitive results.
After all, timer functions, and especially sleep functions that DAMON uses
to wait for specific timing, are not necessarily strictly accurate. It is
legal design, so no problem. However, depending on such inaccuracies, the
nr_accesses can be larger than aggregation interval divided by sampling
interval. For example, with the default setting (5 ms sampling interval
and 100 ms aggregation interval) we frequently show regions having
nr_accesses larger than 20. Also, if the execution of a DAMOS scheme
takes a long time, next aggregation could happen before enough number of
samples are collected. This is not what usual users would intuitively
expect.
Since access check sampling is the smallest unit work of DAMON, using the
number of passed sampling intervals as the DAMON-internal timer can easily
avoid these problems. That is, convert aggregation and ops update
intervals to numbers of sampling intervals that need to be passed before
those operations be executed, count the number of passed sampling
intervals, and invoke the operations as soon as the specific amount of
sampling intervals passed. Make the change.
Note that this could make a behavioral change to settings that using
intervals that not aligned by the sampling interval. For example, if the
sampling interval is 5 ms and the aggregation interval is 12 ms, DAMON
effectively uses 15 ms as its aggregation interval, because it checks
whether the aggregation interval after sleeping the sampling interval.
This change will make DAMON to effectively use 10 ms as aggregation
interval, since it uses 'aggregation interval / sampling interval *
sampling interval' as the effective aggregation interval, and we don't use
floating point types. Usual users would have used aligned intervals, so
this behavioral change is not expected to make any meaningful impact, so
just make this change.

Patch series "mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions",
v2.
DAMON provides damon_aggregated tracepoint to let users record full
monitoring results. Sometimes, users need to record monitoring results of
specific pattern. DAMOS tried regions directory of DAMON sysfs interface
allows it, but the interface is mainly designed for snapshots and
therefore would be inefficient for such recording. Implement yet another
tracepoint for efficient support of the usecase.
This patch (of 2):
DAMON provides damon_aggregated tracepoint, which exposes details of each
region and its access monitoring results. It is useful for getting whole
monitoring results, e.g., for recording purposes.
For investigations of DAMOS, DAMON Sysfs interface provides DAMOS
statistics and tried_regions directory. But, those provides only
statistics and snapshots. If the scheme is frequently applied and if the
user needs to know every detail of DAMOS behavior, the snapshot-based
interface could be insufficient and expensive.
As a last resort, userspace users need to record the all monitoring
results via damon_aggregated tracepoint and simulate how DAMOS would
worked. It is unnecessarily complicated. DAMON kernel API users,
meanwhile, can do that easily via before_damos_apply() callback field of
'struct damon_callback', though.
Add a tracepoint that will be called just after before_damos_apply()
callback for more convenient investigations of DAMOS. The tracepoint
exposes all details about each regions, similar to damon_aggregated
tracepoint.
Please note that DAMOS is currently not only for memory management but
also for query-like efficient monitoring results retrievals (when 'stat'
action is used). Until now, only statistics or snapshots were supported.
Addition of this tracepoint allows efficient full recording of DAMOS-based
filtered monitoring results.

Patch series "Fix set_huge_pte_at() panic on arm64", v2.
This series fixes a bug in arm64's implementation of set_huge_pte_at(),
which can result in an unprivileged user causing a kernel panic. The
problem was triggered when running the new uffd poison mm selftest for
HUGETLB memory. This test (and the uffd poison feature) was merged for
v6.5-rc7.
Ideally, I'd like to get this fix in for v6.6 and I've cc'ed stable
(correctly this time) to get it backported to v6.5, where the issue first
showed up.
Description of Bug
==================
arm64's huge pte implementation supports multiple huge page sizes, some of
which are implemented in the page table with multiple contiguous entries.
So set_huge_pte_at() needs to work out how big the logical pte is, so that
it can also work out how many physical ptes (or pmds) need to be written.
It previously did this by grabbing the folio out of the pte and querying
its size.
However, there are cases when the pte being set is actually a swap entry.
But this also used to work fine, because for huge ptes, we only ever saw
migration entries and hwpoison entries. And both of these types of swap
entries have a PFN embedded, so the code would grab that and everything
still worked out.
But over time, more calls to set_huge_pte_at() have been added that set
swap entry types that do not embed a PFN. And this causes the code to go
bang. The triggering case is for the uffd poison test, commit
99aa77215a ("selftests/mm: add uffd unit test for UFFDIO_POISON"), which
causes a PTE_MARKER_POISONED swap entry to be set, coutesey of commit
8a13897fb0 ("mm: userfaultfd: support UFFDIO_POISON for hugetlbfs") -
added in v6.5-rc7. Although review shows that there are other call sites
that set PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP (which also has no PFN), these don't trigger
on arm64 because arm64 doesn't support UFFD WP.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, we do at least get a BUG(), but otherwise,
it will dereference a bad pointer in page_folio():
static inline struct folio *hugetlb_swap_entry_to_folio(swp_entry_t entry)
{
VM_BUG_ON(!is_migration_entry(entry) && !is_hwpoison_entry(entry));
return page_folio(pfn_to_page(swp_offset_pfn(entry)));
}
Fix
===
The simplest fix would have been to revert the dodgy cleanup commit
18f3962953 ("mm: hugetlb: kill set_huge_swap_pte_at()"), but since
things have moved on, this would have required an audit of all the new
set_huge_pte_at() call sites to see if they should be converted to
set_huge_swap_pte_at(). As per the original intent of the change, it
would also leave us open to future bugs when people invariably get it
wrong and call the wrong helper.
So instead, I've added a huge page size parameter to set_huge_pte_at().
This means that the arm64 code has the size in all cases. It's a bigger
change, due to needing to touch the arches that implement the function,
but it is entirely mechanical, so in my view, low risk.
I've compile-tested all touched arches; arm64, parisc, powerpc, riscv,
s390, sparc (and additionally x86_64). I've additionally booted and run
mm selftests against arm64, where I observe the uffd poison test is fixed,
and there are no other regressions.
This patch (of 2):
In order to fix a bug, arm64 needs to be told the size of the huge page
for which the pte is being set in set_huge_pte_at(). Provide for this by
adding an `unsigned long sz` parameter to the function. This follows the
same pattern as huge_pte_clear().
This commit makes the required interface modifications to the core mm as
well as all arches that implement this function (arm64, parisc, powerpc,
riscv, s390, sparc). The actual arm64 bug will be fixed in a separate
commit.
No behavioral changes intended.

One DAMON context can have multiple monitoring targets, and DAMOS schemes
are applied to all targets. In some cases, users need to apply different
scheme to different targets. Retrieving monitoring results via DAMON
sysfs interface' 'tried_regions' directory could be one good example.
Also, there could be cases that cgroup DAMOS filter is not enough. All
such use cases can be worked around by having multiple DAMON contexts
having only single target, but it is inefficient in terms of resource
usage, thogh the overhead is not estimated to be huge.
Implement DAMON monitoring target based DAMOS filter for the case. Like
address range target DAMOS filter, handle these filters in the DAMON core
layer, since it is more efficient than doing in operations set layer.
This also means that regions that filtered out by monitoring target type
DAMOS filters are counted as not tried by the scheme. Hence, target
granularity monitoring results retrieval via DAMON sysfs interface becomes
available.

Patch series "Extend DAMOS filters for address ranges and DAMON monitoring
targets"
There are use cases that need to apply DAMOS schemes to specific address
ranges or DAMON monitoring targets. NUMA nodes in the physical address
space, special memory objects in the virtual address space, and monitoring
target specific efficient monitoring results snapshot retrieval could be
examples of such use cases. This patchset extends DAMOS filters feature
for such cases, by implementing two more filter types, namely address
ranges and DAMON monitoring types.
Patches sequence
----------------
The first seven patches are for the address ranges based DAMOS filter.
The first patch implements the filter feature and expose it via DAMON
kernel API. The second patch further expose the feature to users via
DAMON sysfs interface. The third and fourth patches implement unit tests
and selftests for the feature. Three patches (fifth to seventh) updating
the documents follow.
The following six patches are for the DAMON monitoring target based DAMOS
filter. The eighth patch implements the feature in the core layer and
expose it via DAMON's kernel API. The ninth patch further expose it to
users via DAMON sysfs interface. Tenth patch add a selftest, and two
patches (eleventh and twelfth) update documents.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/damon/20230728203444.70703-1-sj@kernel.org/
This patch (of 13):
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.

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: implement DAMOS tried total bytes

The tried_regions directory of DAMON sysfs interface is useful for

common use case that need to monitor only the total size of the scheme
tried regions (e.g., monitoring working set size), the kernel overhead for
directory construction and user overhead for reading the content could be
high if the number of monitoring region is not small. This patchset
implements DAMON sysfs files for efficient support of the use case.

kernel space overhead.
The third patch adds a selftest for the new file, and following two

The tried_regions directory can be used for retrieving the monitoring
results snapshot for regions of specific access pattern, by setting the
scheme's action as 'stat' and the access pattern as required. While the
interface provides every detail of the monitoring results, some use cases
including working set size monitoring requires only the total size of the
regions. For such cases, users should read all the information and
calculate the total size of the regions. However, it could incur high
overhead if the number of regions is high. Add a file for retrieving only
the information, namely 'total_bytes' file. It allows users to get the
total size by reading only the file.
