[RFC PATCH 13/13] mm/damon: Introduce DAMON-based reclamation

From: sj38 . park
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 11:04:50 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

This commit implements a new kernel subsystem that finds cold memory
regions using DAMON and reclaims those immediately. It is intended to
be used as proactive lightweigh reclamation logic for light memory
pressure. For heavy memory pressure, it could be inactivated and fall
back to the traditional page-scanning based reclamation.

It's implemented on top of DAMON framework to use the DAMON-based
Operation Schemes (DAMOS) feature. It utilizes all the DAMOS features
including speed limit, prioritization, and watermarks.

It could be enabled and tuned in build time via the kernel
configuration, in boot time via the kernel boot parameter, and in run
time via its module parameter ('/sys/module/damon_reclaim/parameters/')
interface.
