DAMON_LRU_SORT allocates the damon_ctx object for its kdamond in its init
function. damon_lru_sort_enabled_store() wrongly assumes the allocation
will always succeed once tried. If the damon_ctx allocation was failed,
therefore, code execution reaches to damon_commit_ctx() while 'ctx' is
NULL. As a result, it dereferences the NULL 'ctx' pointer. Avoid the
NULL dereference by returning -ENOMEM if 'ctx' is NULL.

Patch series "mm/damon/{reclaim,lru_sort}: handle ctx allocation failures".
DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT could dereference NULL pointers if their
damon_ctx object allocations fail. The bugs are expected to happen
infrequently because the allocations are arguably too small to fail on
common setups. But theoretically they are possible and the consequences
are bad. Fix those.
The issues were discovered [1] by Sashiko.

damon_get_folio() speculatively calls folio_test_lru() before
folio_try_get(). The folio can get freed and reallocated to a tail page.
In the case, VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in const_folio_flags() can be triggered.
Remove the speculative call.
Also mark folio_test_lru() check right after folio_try_get() success as no
more unlikely.
The race should be rare. Also the problem can happen only if the kernel
has enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS. No real world report of this issue
has been made so far. This fix is based on only theoretical analysis.
That said, a bug is a bug. A similar issue was also fixed via commit
3203b3ab0fcf ("mm/filemap: don't call folio_test_locked() without a
reference in next_uptodate_folio()"). I don't expect this change will
make a meaningful impact to DAMON performance in the real world, though I
will be happy to be corrected from the real world reports.

DAMON sysfs maintains the DAMOS tried region directory objects via a
linked list. When the user requests refresh of the directories, DAMON
sysfs removes all the region directories first, and then generate updated
regions directory on the empty space. The removal function
(damon_sysfs_scheme_regions_rm_dirs()) only puts the kobj objects.
Deletion of the container region object from the linked list is done
inside the kobj release callback function.
If somehow the callback invocation is delayed, the list will contain
regions list that gonna be freed. If the updated region directories
creation is started in this situation, the list can be corrupted and
use-after-free can happen.
Because the kobj objects are managed by only DAMON sysfs, the issue cannot
happen in normal situation. But, such delays can be made on kernels that
built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. On the kernel, the issue can
indeed be reproduced like below.
# damo start --damos_action stat
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0/
# for i in {1..10}; do echo update_schemes_tried_regions > state; done
# dmesg | grep underflow
[ 89.296152] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
Fix the issue by removing the region object from the list when
decrementing the reference count.
Also update damos_sysfs_populate_region_dir() to add the region object to
the list only after the kobject_init_and_add() is success, so that fail of
kobject_init_and_add() is not leaving the deallocated object on the list.

damon_sysfs_memcg_path_to_id() breaks mem_cgroup_iter() loop without
calling mem_cgroup_iter_break(). This leaks the cgroup reference. Fix

DAMON_STAT updates 'enabled' parameter value, which represents the running
status of its kdamond, when the user explicitly requests start/stop of the
kdamond. The kdamond can, however, be stopped even if the user explicitly
requested the stop, if ctx->regions_score_histogram allocation failure at
beginning of the execution of the kdamond. Hence, if the kdamond is
stopped by the allocation failure, the value of the parameter can be
stale.
Users could show the stale value and be confused. The problem will only
rarely happen in real and common setups because the allocation is arguably
too small to fail. Also, unlike the similar bugs that are now fixed in
DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT, kdamond can be restarted in this case,
because DAMON_STAT force-updates the enabled parameter value for user
inputs. The bug is a bug, though.
The issue stems from the fact that there are multiple events that can
change the status, and following all the events is challenging.
Dynamically detect and use the fresh status for the parameters when those
are requested.
The issue was dicovered [1] by Sashiko.

DAMON_LRU_SORT updates 'enabled' and 'kdamond_pid' parameter values, which
represents the running status of its kdamond, when the user explicitly
requests start/stop of the kdamond. The kdamond can, however, be stopped
in events other than the explicit user request in the following three
events.
1. ctx->regions_score_histogram allocation failure at beginning of the
execution,
2. damon_commit_ctx() failure due to invalid user input, and
3. damon_commit_ctx() failure due to its internal allocation failures.
Hence, if the kdamond is stopped by the above three events, the values of
the status parameters can be stale. Users could show the stale values and
be confused. This is already bad, but the real consequence is worse.
DAMON_LRU_SORT avoids unnecessary damon_start() and damon_stop() calls
based on the 'enabled' parameter value. And the update of 'enabled'
parameter value depends on the damon_start() and damon_stop() call
results. Hence, once the kdamond has stopped by the unintentional events,
the user cannot restart the kdamond before the system reboot. For
example, the issue can be reproduced via below steps.
# cd /sys/module/damon_lru_sort/parameters
#
# # start DAMON_LRU_SORT
# echo Y > enabled
# ps -ef | grep kdamond

Patch series "mm/damon/modules: detect and use fresh status", v3.
DAMON modules including DAMON_RECLAIM, DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_STAT
commonly expose the kdamond running status via their parameters. Under
certain scenarios including wrong user inputs and memory allocation
failures, those parameter values can be stale. It can confuse users. For
DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT, it even makes the kdamond unable to be
restarted before the system reboot.
The problem comes from the fact that there are multiple events for the
status changes and it is difficult to follow up all the scenarios. Fix
the issue by detecting and using the status on demand, instead of using a
cached status that is difficult to be updated.
Patches 1-3 fix the bugs in DAMON_RECLAIM, DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_STAT
in the order.
This patch (of 3):
DAMON_RECLAIM updates 'enabled' and 'kdamond_pid' parameter values, which

damon_sysfs_quot_goal->path can be read and written by users, via DAMON
sysfs 'path' file. It can also be indirectly read, for the parameters
{on,off}line committing to DAMON. The reads for parameters committing are
protected by damon_sysfs_lock to avoid the sysfs files being destroyed
while any of the parameters are being read. But the user-driven direct
reads and writes are not protected by any lock, while the write is
deallocating the path-pointing buffer. As a result, the readers could
read the already freed buffer (user-after-free). Note that the user-reads
don't race when the same open file is used by the writer, due to kernfs's
open file locking. Nonetheless, doing the reads and writes with separate
open files would be common. Fix it by protecting both the user-direct
reads and writes with damon_sysfs_lock.

Commit d8f867fa0825 ("mm/damon: add damon_ctx->min_sz_region") introduced
a bug that allows unaligned DAMON region address ranges. Commit
c80f46ac228b ("mm/damon/core: disallow non-power of two min_region_sz")
fixed it, but only for damon_commit_ctx() use case. Still, DAMON sysfs
interface can emit non-power of two min_region_sz via damon_start(). Fix
the path by adding the is_power_of_2() check on damon_start().

When the throughput of a DAMOS scheme is very slow, DAMOS time quota can
make the effective size quota smaller than damon_ctx->min_region_sz. In
the case, damos_apply_scheme() will skip applying the action, because the
action is tried at region level, which requires >=min_region_sz size.
That is, the quota is effectively exceeded for the quota charge window.
Because no action will be applied, the total_charged_sz and
total_charged_ns are also not updated. damos_set_effective_quota() will
try to update the effective size quota before starting the next charge
window. However, because the total_charged_sz and total_charged_ns have
not updated, the throughput and effective size quota are also not changed.
Since effective size quota can only be decreased, other effective size
quota update factors including DAMOS quota goals and size quota cannot
make any change, either.
As a result, the scheme is unexpectedly deactivated until the user notices
and mitigates the situation. The users can mitigate this situation by
changing the time quota online or re-install the scheme. While the
mitigation is somewhat straightforward, finding the situation would be
challenging, because DAMON is not providing good observabilities for that.
Even if such observability is provided, doing the additional monitoring
and the mitigation is somewhat cumbersome and not aligned to the intention
of the time quota. The time quota was intended to help reduce the user's
administration overhead.
Fix the problem by setting time quota-modified effective size quota be at
least min_region_sz always.

damos_adjust_quota() uses time_after_eq() to show if it is time to start a
new quota charge window, comparing the current jiffies and the scheduled
next charge window start time. If it is, the next charge window start
time is updated and the new charge window starts.
The time check and next window start time update is skipped while the
scheme is deactivated by the watermarks. Let's suppose the deactivation
is kept more than LONG_MAX jiffies (assuming CONFIG_HZ of 250, more than
99 days in 32 bit systems and more than one billion years in 64 bit
systems), resulting in having the jiffies larger than the next charge
window start time + LONG_MAX. Then, the time_after_eq() call can return
false until another LONG_MAX jiffies are passed.
This means the scheme can continue working after being reactivated by the
watermarks. But, soon, the quota will be exceeded and the scheme will
again effectively stop working until the next charge window starts.
Because the current charge window is extended to up to LONG_MAX jiffies,
however, it will look like it stopped unexpectedly and indefinitely, from
the user's perspective.
Fix this by using !time_in_range_open() instead.

Patch series "mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid".
node_mem[cg]_{used,free}_bp DAMOS quota goals receive the node id. The
node id is used for si_meminfo_node() and NODE_DATA() without proper
validation. As a result, privileged users can trigger an out of bounds
memory access using DAMON_SYSFS. Fix the issues.
The issue was originally reported [1] with a fix by another author. The
original author announced [2] that they will stop working including the
fix that was still in the review stage. Hence I'm restarting this.

Destroy the DAMON context and reset the global pointer when damon_start()
fails. Otherwise, the context allocated by damon_stat_build_ctx() is
leaked, and the stale damon_stat_context pointer will be overwritten on
the next enable attempt, making the old allocation permanently
unreachable.

When kdamond_fn() main loop is finished, the function cancels remaining
damos_walk() request and unset the damon_ctx->kdamond so that API callers
and API functions themselves can show the context is terminated.
damos_walk() adds the caller's request to the queue first. After that, it
shows if the kdamond of the damon_ctx is still running (damon_ctx->kdamond
is set). Only if the kdamond is running, damos_walk() starts waiting for
the kdamond's handling of the newly added request.
The damos_walk() requests registration and damon_ctx->kdamond unset are
protected by different mutexes, though. Hence, damos_walk() could race
with damon_ctx->kdamond unset, and result in deadlocks.
For example, let's suppose kdamond successfully finished the damow_walk()
request cancelling. Right after that, damos_walk() is called for the
context. It registers the new request, and shows the context is still
running, because damon_ctx->kdamond unset is not yet done. Hence the
damos_walk() caller starts waiting for the handling of the request.
However, the kdamond is already on the termination steps, so it never
handles the new request. As a result, the damos_walk() caller thread
infinitely waits.
Fix this by introducing another damon_ctx field, namely
walk_control_obsolete. It is protected by the
damon_ctx->walk_control_lock, which protects damos_walk() request
registration. Initialize (unset) it in kdamond_fn() before letting
damon_start() returns and set it just before the cancelling of the
remaining damos_walk() request is executed. damos_walk() reads the
obsolete field under the lock and avoids adding a new request.
After this change, only requests that are guaranteed to be handled or
cancelled are registered. Hence the after-registration DAMON context
termination check is no longer needed. Remove it together.

Patch series "mm/damon/core: fix damon_call()/damos_walk() vs kdmond exit
race".
damon_call() and damos_walk() can leak memory and/or deadlock when they
race with kdamond terminations. Fix those.
This patch (of 2);
When kdamond_fn() main loop is finished, the function cancels all
remaining damon_call() requests and unset the damon_ctx->kdamond so that
API callers and API functions themselves can know the context is
terminated. damon_call() adds the caller's request to the queue first.
After that, it shows if the kdamond of the damon_ctx is still running
(damon_ctx->kdamond is set). Only if the kdamond is running, damon_call()
starts waiting for the kdamond's handling of the newly added request.
The damon_call() requests registration and damon_ctx->kdamond unset are
protected by different mutexes, though. Hence, damon_call() could race
with damon_ctx->kdamond unset, and result in deadlocks.
For example, let's suppose kdamond successfully finished the damon_call()
requests cancelling. Right after that, damon_call() is called for the
context. It registers the new request, and shows the context is still
running, because damon_ctx->kdamond unset is not yet done. Hence the
damon_call() caller starts waiting for the handling of the request.
However, the kdamond is already on the termination steps, so it never
handles the new request. As a result, the damon_call() caller threads
infinitely waits.
Fix this by introducing another damon_ctx field, namely
call_controls_obsolete. It is protected by the
damon_ctx->call_controls_lock, which protects damon_call() requests
registration. Initialize (unset) it in kdamond_fn() before letting
damon_start() returns and set it just before the cancelling of remaining
damon_call() requests is executed. damon_call() reads the obsolete field
under the lock and avoids adding a new request.
After this change, only requests that are guaranteed to be handled or
cancelled are registered. Hence the after-registration DAMON context
termination check is no longer needed. Remove it together.
Note that the deadlock will not happen when damon_call() is called for
repeat mode request. In tis case, damon_call() returns instead of waiting
for the handling when the request registration succeeds and it shows the
kdamond is running. However, if the request also has dealloc_on_cancel,
the request memory would be leaked.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix printf format warning for bprintf
sunrpc uses a trace_printk() that triggers a printf warning during
the compile. Move the __printf() attribute around for when debugging
is not enabled the warning will go away
- Remove redundant check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in
event_filter_write()
The FREED flag is checked in the call to event_file_file() and then
checked again right afterward, which is unneeded
- Clean up event_file_file() and event_file_data() helpers
These helper functions played a different role in the past, but now
with eventfs, the READ_ONCE() isn't needed. Simplify the code a bit
and also add a warning to event_file_data() if the file or its data
is not present
- Remove updating file->private_data in tracing open
All access to the file private data is handled by the helper
functions, which do not use file->private_data. Stop updating it on
open
- Show ENUM names in function arguments via BTF in function tracing
When showing the function arguments when func-args option is set for
function tracing, if one of the arguments is found to be an enum,
show the name of the enum instead of its number
- Add new trace_call__##name() API for tracepoints
Tracepoints are enabled via static_branch() blocks, where when not
enabled, there's only a nop that is in the code where the execution
will just skip over it. When tracing is enabled, the nop is converted
to a direct jump to the tracepoint code. Sometimes more calculations
are required to be performed to update the parameters of the
tracepoint. In this case, trace_##name##_enabled() is called which is
a static_branch() that gets enabled only when the tracepoint is
enabled. This allows the extra calculations to also be skipped by the
nop:
if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
x = bar();
trace_foo(x);
}
Where the x=bar() is only performed when foo is enabled. The problem
with this approach is that there's now two static_branch() calls. One
for checking if the tracepoint is enabled, and then again to know if
the tracepoint should be called. The second one is redundant
Introduce trace_call__foo() that will call the foo() tracepoint
directly without doing a static_branch():
if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
x = bar();
trace_call__foo();
}
- Update various locations to use the new trace_call__##name() API
- Move snapshot code out of trace.c
Cleaning up trace.c to not be a "dump all", move the snapshot code
out of it and into a new trace_snapshot.c file
- Clean up some "%*.s" to "%*s"
- Allow boot kernel command line options to be called multiple times
Have options like:
ftrace_filter=foo ftrace_filter=bar ftrace_filter=zoo
Equal to:
ftrace_filter=foo,bar,zoo
- Fix ipi_raise event CPU field to be a CPU field
The ipi_raise target_cpus field is defined as a __bitmask(). There is
now a __cpumask() field definition. Update the field to use that
- Have hist_field_name() use a snprintf() and not a series of strcat()
It's safer to use snprintf() that a series of strcat()
- Fix tracepoint regfunc balancing
A tracepoint can define a "reg" and "unreg" function that gets called
before the tracepoint is enabled, and after it is disabled
respectively. But on error, after the "reg" func is called and the
tracepoint is not enabled, the "unreg" function is not called to tear
down what the "reg" function performed
- Fix output that shows what histograms are enabled
Event variables are displayed incorrectly in the histogram output
Instead of "sched.sched_wakeup.$var", it is showing
"$sched.sched_wakeup.var" where the '$' is in the incorrect location
- Some other simple cleanups

damon_stat_start() always allocates the module's damon_ctx object
(damon_stat_context). Meanwhile, if damon_call() in the function fails,
the damon_ctx object is not deallocated. Hence, if the damon_call() is
failed, and the user writes Y to “enabled” again, the previously
allocated damon_ctx object is leaked.
This cannot simply be fixed by deallocating the damon_ctx object when
damon_call() fails. That's because damon_call() failure doesn't guarantee
the kdamond main function, which accesses the damon_ctx object, is
completely finished. In other words, if damon_stat_start() deallocates
the damon_ctx object after damon_call() failure, the not-yet-terminated
kdamond could access the freed memory (use-after-free).
Fix the leak while avoiding the use-after-free by keeping returning
damon_stat_start() without deallocating the damon_ctx object after
damon_call() failure, but deallocating it when the function is invoked
again and the kdamond is completely terminated. If the kdamond is not yet
terminated, simply return -EAGAIN, as the kdamond will soon be terminated.
The issue was discovered [1] by sashiko.

damon_call() for repeat_call_control of DAMON_SYSFS could fail if somehow
the kdamond is stopped before the damon_call(). It could happen, for
example, when te damon context was made for monitroing of a virtual
address processes, and the process is terminated immediately, before the
damon_call() invocation. In the case, the dyanmically allocated
repeat_call_control is not deallocated and leaked.
Fix the leak by deallocating the repeat_call_control under the
damon_call() failure.

damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() calls damon_sysfs_upd_tuned_intervals(),
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_stats(), and
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_effective_quotas() without checking contexts->nr.
If nr_contexts is set to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, these
functions dereference contexts_arr[0] and cause a NULL pointer
dereference. Add the missing check.
For example, the issue can be reproduced using DAMON sysfs interface and

Multiple sysfs command paths dereference contexts_arr[0] without first
verifying that kdamond->contexts->nr == 1. A user can set nr_contexts to
0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, causing NULL pointer dereferences.
In more detail, the issue can be triggered by privileged users like
below.
First, start DAMON and make contexts directory empty
(kdamond->contexts->nr == 0).
# damo start
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0
# echo 0 > contexts/nr_contexts
Then, each of below commands will cause the NULL pointer dereference.
# echo update_schemes_stats > state
# echo update_schemes_tried_regions > state
# echo update_schemes_tried_bytes > state
# echo update_schemes_effective_quotas > state
# echo update_tuned_intervals > state
Guard all commands (except OFF) at the entry point of
damon_sysfs_handle_cmd().

Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix memory leak and NULL dereference
issues", v4.
DAMON_SYSFS can leak memory under allocation failure, and do NULL pointer
dereference when a privileged user make wrong sequences of control. Fix
those.
This patch (of 3):
When damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() fails in damon_sysfs_commit_input(),
param_ctx is leaked because the early return skips the cleanup at the out
label. Destroy param_ctx before returning.

Add a kernel-doc-like comment to damos_commit_dests() documenting its
allocation failure contract: on -ENOMEM, the destination structure is left
in a partially torn-down state that is safe to deallocate via
damon_destroy_scheme(), but must not be reused for further commits.
This was unclear from the code alone and led to a separate patch [1]
attempting to reset nr_dests on failure. Make the intended usage explicit
so future readers do not repeat the confusion.

In the past, damon_set_region_biggest_system_ram_default(), which is the
core function for setting the default monitoring target region of
DAMON_LRU_SORT, didn't support addr_unit. Hence DAMON_LRU_SORT was
silently ignoring the user input for addr_unit when the user doesn't
explicitly set the monitoring target regions, and therefore the default
target region is being used. No real problem from that ignorance was
reported so far. But, the implicit rule is only making things confusing.
Also, the default target region setup function is updated to support
addr_unit. Hence there is no reason to keep ignoring it. Respect the
user-passed addr_unit for the default target monitoring region use case.

damon_find_biggest_system_ram() was not supporting addr_unit in the past.
Hence, its caller, damon_set_region_biggest_system_ram_default(), was also
not supporting addr_unit. The previous commit has updated the inner
function to support addr_unit. There is no more reason to not support
addr_unit on damon_set_region_biggest_system_ram_default(). Rather, it
makes unnecessary inconsistency on support of addr_unit. Update it to

damon_find_biggest_system_ram() sets an 'unsigned long' variable with
'resource_size_t' value. This is fundamentally wrong. On environments
such as ARM 32 bit machines having LPAE (Large Physical Address
Extensions), which DAMON supports, the size of 'unsigned long' may be
smaller than that of 'resource_size_t'. It is safe, though, since we
restrict the walk to be done only up to ULONG_MAX.
DAMON supports the address size gap using 'addr_unit'. We didn't add the
support to the function, just to make the initial support change small.
Now the support is reasonably settled. This kind of gap is only making
the code inconsistent and easy to be confused. Add the support of
'addr_unit' to the function, by letting callers pass the 'addr_unit' and
handling it in the function. All callers are passing 'addr_unit' 1,
though, to keep the old behavior.

Patch series "mm/damon: support addr_unit on default monitoring targets
for modules".
DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT support 'addr_unit' parameters only when
the monitoring target address range is explicitly set. This was
intentional for making the initial 'addr_unit' support change small. Now
'addr_unit' support is being quite stabilized. Having the corner case of
the support is only making the code inconsistent with implicit rules. The
inconsistency makes it easy to confuse [1] readers. After all, there is
no real reason to keep 'addr_unit' support incomplete. Add the support
for the case to improve the readability and more completely support
'addr_unit'.
This series is constructed with five patches. The first one (patch 1)
fixes a small bug that mistakenly assigns inclusive end address to open
end address, which was found from this work. The second and third ones
(patches 2 and 3) extend the default monitoring target setting functions
in the core layer one by one, to support the 'addr_unit' while making no
visible changes. The final two patches (patches 4 and 5) update
DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to support 'addr_unit' for the default
monitoring target address ranges, by passing the user input to the core
functions.
This patch (of 5):
'struct damon_addr_range' and 'struct resource' represent different types
of address ranges. 'damon_addr_range' is for end-open ranges ([start,
end)). 'resource' is for fully-closed ranges ([start, end]). But
walk_system_ram() is assigning resource->end to damon_addr_range->end
without the inclusiveness adjustment. As a result, the function returns
an address range that is missing the last one byte.
The function is being used to find and set the biggest system ram as the
default monitoring target for DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT. Missing
the last byte of the big range shouldn't be a real problem for the real
use cases. That said, the loss is definitely an unintended behavior. Do
the correct adjustment.

Introduce a new goal-based DAMOS quota auto-tuning algorithm, namely
DAMOS_QUOTA_GOAL_TUNER_TEMPORAL (temporal in short). The algorithm aims
to trigger the DAMOS action only for a temporal time, to achieve the goal
as soon as possible. For the temporal period, it uses as much quota as
allowed. Once the goal is achieved, it sets the quota zero, so
effectively makes the scheme be deactivated.

User-explicit quotas (size and time quotas) having zero value means the
quotas are unset. And, effective size quota is set as the minimum value
of the explicit quotas. When quota goals are set, the goal-based quota
tuner can make it lower. But the existing only single tuner never sets
the effective size quota zero. Because of the fact, DAMON core assumes
zero effective quota means the user has set no quota.
Multiple tuners are now allowed, though. In the future, some tuners might
want to set a zero effective size quota. There is no reason to restrict
that. Meanwhile, because of the current implementation, it will only
deactivate all quotas and make the scheme work at its full speed.
Introduce a dedicated function for checking if no quota is set. The
function checks the fact by showing if the user-set explicit quotas are
zero and no goal is installed. It is decoupled from zero effective quota,
and hence allows future tuners set zero effective quota for intentionally
deactivating the scheme by a purpose.

Patch series "mm/damon: support multiple goal-based quota tuning
algorithms".
Aim-oriented DAMOS quota auto-tuning uses a single tuning algorithm. The
algorithm is designed to find a quota value that should be consistently
kept for achieving the aimed goal for long term. It is useful and
reliable at automatically operating systems that have dynamic environments
in the long term.
As always, however, no single algorithm fits all. When the environment
has static characteristics or there are control towers in not only the
kernel space but also the user space, the algorithm shows some
limitations. In such environments, users want kernel work in a more short
term deterministic way. Actually there were at least two reports [1,2] of
such cases.
Extend DAMOS quotas goal to support multiple quota tuning algorithms that
users can select. Keep the current algorithm as the default one, to not
break the old users. Also give it a name, "consist", as it is designed to
"consistently" apply the DAMOS action. And introduce a new tuning
algorithm, namely "temporal". It is designed to apply the DAMOS action
only temporally, in a deterministic way. In more detail, as long as the
goal is under-achieved, it uses the maximum quota available. Once the
goal is over-achieved, it sets the quota zero.
Tests
=====
I confirmed the feature is working as expected using the latest version of
DAMON user-space tool, like below.
$ # start DAMOS for reclaiming memory aiming 30% free memory
$ sudo ./damo/damo start --damos_action pageout \
--damos_quota_goal_tuner temporal \
--damos_quota_goal node_mem_free_bp 30% 0 \
--damos_quota_interval 1s \
--damos_quota_space 100M
Note that >=3.1.8 version of DAMON user-space tool supports this feature
(--damos_quota_goal_tuner). As expected, DAMOS stops reclaiming memory as
soon as the goal amount of free memory is made. When 'consist' tuner is
used, the reclamation was continued even after the goal amount of free
memory is made, resulting in more than goal amount of free memory, as
expected.
Patch Sequence
==============
First four patches implement the features. Patch 1 extends core API to
allow multiple tuners and make the current tuner as the default and only
available tuner, namely 'consist'. Patch 2 allows future tuners setting
zero effective quota. Patch 3 introduces the second tuner, namely
'temporal'. Patch 4 further extends DAMON sysfs API to let users use
that.
Three following patches (patches 5-7) update design, usage, and ABI
documents, respectively.
Final four patches (patches 8-11) are for adding tests. The eighth patch
(patch 8) extends the kunit test for online parameters commit for
validating the goal_tuner. The ninth and the tenth patches (patches 9-10)
extend the testing-purpose DAMON sysfs control helper and DAMON status
dumping tool to support the newly added feature. The final eleventh one
(patch 11) extends the existing online commit selftest to cover the new
feature.
This patch (of 11):
DAMOS quota goal feature utilizes a single feedback loop based algorithm
for automatic tuning of the effective quota. It is useful in dynamic
environments that operate systems with only kernels in the long term.
But, no one fits all. It is not very easy to control in environments
having more controlled characteristics and user-space control towers. We
actually got multiple reports [1,2] of use cases that the algorithm is not
optimal.
Introduce a new field of 'struct damos_quotas', namely 'goal_tuner'. It
specifies what tuning algorithm the given scheme should use, and allows
DAMON API callers to set it as they want. Nonetheless, this commit
introduces no new tuning algorithm but only the interface. This commit
hence makes no behavioral change. A new algorithm will be added by the
following commit.

Patch series "mm/damon/core: make passed_sample_intervals comparisons
overflow-safe".
DAMON accounts time using its own jiffies-like time counter, namely
damon_ctx->passed_sample_intervals. The counter is incremented on each
iteration of kdamond_fn() main loop, which sleeps at least one sample
interval. Hence the name is like that.
DAMON has time-periodic operations including monitoring results
aggregation and DAMOS action application. DAMON sets the next time to do
each of such operations in the passed_sample_intervals unit. And it does
the operation when the counter becomes the same to or larger than the
pre-set values, and update the next time for the operation. Note that the
operation is done not only when the values exactly match but also when the
time is passed, because the values can be updated for online-committed
DAMON parameters.
The counter is 'unsigned long' type, and the comparison is done using
normal comparison operators. It is not safe from overflows. This can
cause rare and limited but odd situations.
Let's suppose there is an operation that should be executed every 20
sampling intervals, and the passed_sample_intervals value for next
execution of the operation is ULONG_MAX - 3. Once the
passed_sample_intervals reaches ULONG_MAX - 3, the operation will be
executed, and the next time value for doing the operation becomes 17
(ULONG_MAX - 3 + 20), since overflow happens. In the next iteration of
the kdamond_fn() main loop, passed_sample_intervals is larger than the
next operation time value, so the operation will be executed again. It
will continue executing the operation for each iteration, until the
passed_sample_intervals also overflows.
Note that this will not be common and problematic in the real world. The
sampling interval, which takes for each passed_sample_intervals increment,
is 5 ms by default. And it is usually [auto-]tuned for hundreds of
milliseconds. That means it takes about 248 days or 4,971 days to have
the overflow on 32 bit machines when the sampling interval is 5 ms and 100
ms, respectively (1<<32 * sampling_interval_in_seconds / 3600 / 24). On
64 bit machines, the numbers become 2924712086.77536 and 58494241735.5072
years. So the real user impact is negligible. But still this is better
to be fixed as long as the fix is simple and efficient.
Fix this by simply replacing the overflow-unsafe native comparison
operators with the existing overflow-safe time comparison helpers.
The first patch only cleans up the next DAMOS action application time
setup for consistency and reduced code. The second and the third patches
update DAMOS action application time setup and rest, respectively.
This patch (of 3):
There is a function for damos->next_apply_sis setup. But some places are
open-coding it. Consistently use the helper.

At time of damon_reset_aggregated(), aggregation of the interval should be
completed, and hence nr_accesses and nr_accesses_bp should match. I found
a few bugs caused it to be broken in the past, from online parameters
update and complicated nr_accesses handling changes. Add a sanity check
for that under CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY.

damon_split_region_at() should be called with the correct address to split
on. Add a sanity check for that under CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY.

damon_merge_regions_of() should be called only after aggregation is
finished and therefore each region's nr_accesses and nr_accesses_bp match.
There were bugs that broke the assumption, during development of online
DAMON parameter updates and monitoring results handling changes. Add a
sanity check for that under CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY.
