9 daystreewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversionsKees Cook
This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc() family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's "--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control flow indicator I could find. Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc, riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...

2026-08-06mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodesJiahui Zhang
DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD} passes a target NUMA node to migrate_pages(). But alloc_migration_target() only treats mtc->nid as a preferred node unless __GFP_THISNODE is set. Hence target allocation can fall back to another node, and migrate_pages() can report success without placing the folio on the requested target node. Consider a two-node tiered system where node 0 is a fast tier and node 1 is a CPU-less slow tier such as CXL memory, and the user wants to promote hot regions from node 1 to node 0 with a command like: sudo damo start --ops vaddr --target_pid ${workload_pid} \ --damos_action migrate_hot 0 \ --damos_access_rate 70% max Without the __GFP_THISNODE flag, when the memory allocator finds that node 0 is nearly full, it can fall back to node 1 without waking up kswapd. Then the pages allocated for migrate_pages() are still on node 1, and the regions that are expected to be promoted to node 0 are only moved to different physical pages on node 1. Meanwhile, both the mm_migrate_pages tracepoint and DAMOS's own sz_applied statistics (reported via the damos_stat_after_apply_interval tracepoint) show the migrations as successful, which makes the failure practically invisible and hard to investigate. Running a demotion-purpose DAMOS scheme alongside the promotion scheme does not fully avoid this either. If demotion cannot keep up with the promotion rate, allocation can still fall back to node 1 during promotion, and the same misleading statistics show up. Make DAMON's migration target allocation strict by setting __GFP_THISNODE, so that a failed allocation on the target node is reported as a failure instead of silently landing on a different node. This is consistent with alloc_misplaced_dst_folio(), alloc_demote_folio(), and with do_move_pages_to_node(), which all use __GFP_THISNODE for migrations to an explicit destination node.

2026-08-06mm/damon/core: handle region split failure in apply_min_nr_regions()SJ Park
damon_apply_min_nr_regions() repeatedly split each region until its size becomes small enough to meet the user-defined low limit of the number of regions. The loop assumes the split operation (damon_split_region_at()) will always succeed and create the new region. But the operation could silently fail for memory allocation failures, for example. If such failure happens and the region was the last region, the linked list-based next region fetching returns invalid pointer. As a result, invalid memory dereference and corruption could happen. Even if the corner case is handled, it imposes stress to the allocator by trying split regions for other targets. Fix the issue by breaking all the loops for any region split failure. This means there could be a min_nr_regions violation. It will only rarely happen since the allocation is arguably too small to fail. Even if it happens, it is only temporal. damon_apply_min_nr_regions() will be called again after the aggregation interval. The user impact of the issue should be minor, since the allocation is arguably too small to fail. But, it could still theoretically happen, and the consequence is very bad. This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-08-06mm/damon/ops-common: use nr_accesses moving sum for quota scoreSJ Park
Since commit 42f994b71404 ("mm/damon/core: implement scheme-specific apply interval"), DAMOS scheme can be applied at any time. At that time, nr_accesses may not be fully aggregated. But the quota prioritization score is calculated using the not fully aggregated count. As a result, the performance of DAMOS could be degraded. Fix by using damon_nr_accesses_mvsum() instead. The user impact of the issue is suboptimum DAMOS performance under certain setups. Nonetheless, the bug was there from the beginning of the setup availability. In other words, the suboptimum performance is the baseline of the setup and hence it didn't cause regression. Also the extent of the suboptimality was not big enough to be found from users and testers. Still, this is a clear bug that is better to be fixed, and can be easily fixed.

damon_test_commit_target_regions_for() traverses expected values array after damon_commit_target_regions() call. It assumes damon_commit_target_regions() made expected number of regions.

damos_test_filter_out() test checks if damos_filter_match() of an address filter splits the region as expected under a given condition. But, the test continued regardless of the split successes. As a result, the later part of the test could dereference invalid pointers that returned from damon_next_region(). Further, it could corrupt memory from damon_destroy_region(). The consequent user impact (memory corruption) is quite bad. The realistic user impact would be limited, though. It would affect only test run setups. Fix it by exiting early for the number of regions test failure. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-08-06mm/damon/core: initialize damos->last_appliedSJ Park
Patch series "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs". Fix a few Sashiko-found unurgent bugs. Patch 1 fixes use of uninitialized damos->last_applied field. Patches 2-7 fix DAMON kunit tests that do invalid memory access under test failures. The bugs are better to be fixed and eventually merged into stable@ kernel. That said, the fixes are arguably not urgent. Patch 1 only introduces negligible DAMOS efficiency degradation in occasional cases. Kunit fixes could introduce quite bad consequences but those are test code that affect only test run setups. This patch (of 7): Multiple DAMON regions could exist across a folio. If they fulfill the condition to apply a DAMOS scheme, the scheme could be applied multiple times to the folio. To avoid this, each DAMOS scheme stores the folio that the scheme was applied to last time in the damos->last_applied field and skips repeatedly applying the same scheme to the same folio. The field is being used without initialization, though. Hence, the mechanism could wrongly skip applying a scheme to a folio at the very first time of DAMOS run. The user impact is trivial. DAMON might unexpectedly skip applying DAMOS action for one folio for the first time per scheme. In the DAMON's best-effort world, this is never a real problem. No critical consequences such as kernel panic or memory corruption happen. It is a clear bug, though, and the fix is straightforward. Fix the issue by initializing the field in DAMOS scheme creation function, damon_new_scheme(). The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() does not abort the execution of test code when the expectation is not met. But damon_test_merge_regions_of() code after its initial KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() call assumes the expectation is met. It does a per-region test with a hard-coded number of regions that is correct only if the expectation was met.

2026-08-06mm/damon/core: avoid infinite kdamond_merge_regions() internal loopSJ Park
Patch series "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races", v1.1. Sashiko found a few issues in DAMON that could cause infinite loop, NULL dereference and monitoring results degradation. The first two sounds scary but the infinite loop happens only under unreasonable user setup. The NULL dereference is only in a unit test. Monitoring results degradation is trivial since it is only best-effort, and those happens from only unlikely races. Still those are bugs that better to fix if possible. Fix those. This patch (of 6): Due to online parameter update like events, the number of DAMON regions could be higher than the user-set upper limit. kdamond_merge_regions() repeats merge regions until the number meets the limit, while doubling the merge threshold up to the theoretical maximum threshold. It is tried only up to the theoretical maximum threshold because even the aggressive merging can fail from reducing the number of regions under the user-defined upper limit. For example, there could be many user-defined non-contiguous regions that cannot be merged. The threshold based loop break condition is evaluated by comparing the threshold for the next merging try against the theoretical maximum threshold. If max_thres is larger than UINT_MAX / 2, doubling the threshold could make it overflow, and bypass the loop break condition. In the case, if the number of regions cannot be reduced under the upper limit like explained above, the loop will run infinitely. Prevent the case by doing the break condition check before doubling the threshold. Also, prevent the threshold exceeding the maximum threshold, as it could overflow and apply the wrong merge threshold. This issue is unlikely to occur in real world, since having the max_thres higher than UINT_MAX / 2 require unrealistically large aggregation intervals compared to the sampling interval. Also, it requires an unrealistically large number of uncontiguous regions setup. Nonetheless, the consequence is bad and the fix is simple. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

2026-08-06mm/damon/core: skip aging from repeated aggressive mergingSJ Park
The number of DAMON regions could temporarily exceed the user-defined maximum number of regions limit for corner cases. For example, users could lower the limit via runtime parameters update. For such a case, kdamond_merge_regions() repeats merging regions in the case doubling the merge threshold. The repeated merge operation could update the age of regions multiple times. This corrupts the monitoring results. Fix the issue by asking the merge operation to skip aging for the corner case. The user impact is degradation of the monitoring quality. The impact should be mild, since the degradation is only temporal, and it is not common to happen in realistic setups. The issue was discovered [1,2] by Sashiko.

Callers of migrate_pages() should adjust NR_MIGRATED_{ANON,FILE} for isolations and putback of the folios. That for migration succeeded folios is done by migrate_pages(), in migrate_folio_done().

damon_pa_migrate() and damos_va_migrate() isolate folios into a local list and then call damon_migrate_pages(). When target_nid is invalid (including the scheme default NUMA_NO_NODE / -1), damon_migrate_pages() returns early without putting the folios back to the LRU. Callers then discard the list head while those folios remain isolated with an extra reference taken by folio_isolate_lru(). The pages stay off the LRU for as long as the mapping exists (anon active+inactive counts drop while RSS does not), and the leftover references can pin the pages after the mapping is gone. Put the folios back on the invalid-nid path so ignored migration requests still return them to the LRU.

2026-08-04mm/damon/lru_sort: error out for >10000 active_mem_bpSJ Park
damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target value is zero. DAMON_LRU_SORT lets users set the target value for the hot memory scheme via active_mem_bp parameter. It avoids setting it as the target value if the parameter value is zero. However, it also sets the cold memory scheme with a target value that is calculated as '10000 - active_mem_bp + 2'. Hence, if a user sets active_mem_bp 10002, the cold memory scheme's quota goal target value can be zero. As a result, division by zero can be triggered. Fix by returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with >10000 active_mem_bp parameter value. It makes no sense to set active_mem_bp with 10002. It also requires module parameters write permission to reproduce the issue. That said, the consequence is quite bad. One reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below: # cd /sys/module/damon_lru_sort/parameters # echo 1000 > wmarks_high # echo 995 > wmarks_mid # echo 0 > wmarks_low # echo 10002 > active_mem_bp # echo Y > enabled # dmesg -w [...] [ 597.421247] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 597.428848] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480 This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

There are many instances in which linear_page_index() (as well as linear_page_delta()) is open-coded, which is confusing and inconsistent. Additionally, vma->vm_pgoff doesn't necessarily make it clear that this is the page offset of the start of the VMA range. Doing so also aids greppability. So use vma_start_pgoff() in favour of directly accessing vma->vm_pgoff, and linear_page_index() where we can. This also lays the ground for future changes which will add an anonymous page offset in order to be able to index MAP_PRIVATE-file backed anon folios in terms of their virtual page offset.

2026-08-04mm/damon/core: get merge threshold from probe hits when weights are setSJ Park
When probe weights are set, DAMON merges regions based on their probe hits weighted sum. But the merge threshold is calculated based on the access frequency. Update it to retrieve the maximum probe hits weighted sum in the snapshot from apply_probes() ops callback, and generate the threshold based on it.

damon_probe_hits_wsum() could overflow in weird setups. Users could set the weight unreasonably high. They could also set the aggregation interval unreasonably high compared to the sampling interval. Such user setup is unlikely. Even if such setup is used, damon_has_probe_weights() always returns false, so the overflow cannot happen. The function may be completed in future, though. Even if the overflow happens, the consequence is degraded monitoring results for the unreasonable setup. It is just a trivial user experience issue. It is still better to be prevented unless the cost is expensive. Avoid the overflow by adding the parameter validation in the core layer parameters validation function.

2026-08-04mm/damon/core: introduce damon_probe->weightSJ Park
Patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring". TL;DR: Introduce a way to get DAMON's best effort accuracy monitoring of user-demanding non-access data attributes. Background ========== DAMON was initially designed for only access monitoring. It turned out users want to get the information together with more data attributes. For example, some users want to know how much of a hot memory region belongs to huge pages or specific cgroups. Page level properties based monitoring was introduced with commit 626ffabe67c2 ("mm/damon: clarify trying vs applying on damos_stat kernel-doc comment") to fill the gap. Because it works only at snapshot level and snapshot capturing in the mode can induce high overhead, commit 45c49d9fd608 ("mm/damon/core: introduce struct damon_probe") introduced data attributes monitoring. Data attributes monitoring treats the attributes as only additional and subordinate information. Data access monitoring is always turned on, and regions are adjusted for best accuracy of the access information. In some cases, users may be primarily interested in the attributes more than the access. They might even not care about the access information at all. Because DAMON treats data accesses as the only primary information, such users cannot get high quality attributes information. Design and Implementation ========================= Introduce another way for treating data attributes as the primary information. Add 'weight' property to each data attribute probe. When any of the weights are set, the mode is enabled. Data access monitoring is completely turned off in the mode. For region adjustment, the weighted sum of probe hit counters is used instead of the nr_accesses. Using the weights, users can specify to what attributes they are interested in to what degree. DAMON will adjust the regions and provide the best-effort quality monitoring that is optimized for the user demands. Extend damon_operations for efficient use of probe hits. Update regions merge and kdamond main logic to support the new mode. Add a new struct field and a sysfs file for API callers and ABI users, respectively. Test ==== On ~7 GiB memory idle system, run a simple AI-assisted program. The program allocates and faults 2 GiB anonymous pages. Then, it does nothing but wait until the user terminates it. Hence, the system ~2 GiB of anonymous pages with no active accesses. Monitor the distribution of the anonymous pages using DAMON attributes monitoring mode, using DAMON user-space tool, damo [1]. $ sudo ./damo start --probe_filter allow anon $ sudo ./damo report access --dont_merge_regions heatmap: 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000399999995111111146666666666666666 # min/max temperatures: -2,470,000,000, -1,620,000,000, column size: 99.800 MiB intervals: sample 5 ms aggr 100 ms (max access hz 200) # <start> <size> <freq> <age> <probe hits> 0 4.000 KiB 79.840 MiB 0 hz 24.700 s 2 1 79.844 MiB 718.562 MiB 0 hz 24.700 s 8 2 798.406 MiB 793.148 MiB 0 hz 24.700 s 7 3 1.554 GiB 797.828 MiB 0 hz 24.700 s 7 4 2.333 GiB 794.668 MiB 0 hz 24.600 s 8 5 3.109 GiB 791.117 MiB 0 hz 24.500 s 0 6 3.882 GiB 785.312 MiB 0 hz 24 s 2 7 4.649 GiB 787.867 MiB 0 hz 16.200 s 6 8 5.418 GiB 784.477 MiB 0 hz 23.300 s 6 9 6.184 GiB 783.820 MiB 0 hz 18.200 s 9 10 6.950 GiB 797.730 MiB 0 hz 18.900 s 7 11 7.729 GiB 69.625 MiB 0 hz 18.900 s 0 memory bw estimate: 0 B per second total size: 7.797 GiB record DAMON intervals: sample 5 ms, aggr 100 ms Note that the line after the line starting with "intervals:" is not provided by the current version of 'damo'. I manually added the legends line for easier understanding of these results. Each of the 12 lines after the legend line shows the DAMON-found regions. Each line shows 1) index of the region, 2) start address of the region, 3) size of the region, 4) access frequency of the region, 5) age (how long the access frequency on the region was kept) of the region, and finally 6) the probe hit count. Because data access is the primary information that adjusts region for, and there is only nearly zero access on the system, regions are naively adjusted with the same size. Still <probe hits> show different distribution of the anonymous pages, but it is obviously very rough information. Switch to the attributes only mode and show how it changes the picture: $ sudo ./damo tune --probe_filter allow anon --probe_weight 100 $ sudo ./damo report access --dont_merge_regions heatmap: 88888888888888888889888999999889999999000004888888888888889999988888898888888888 # min/max temperatures: -4,430,000,000, 0, column size: 99.800 MiB intervals: sample 5 ms aggr 100 ms (max access hz 200) # <start> <size> <freq> <age> <probe hits> 0 4.000 KiB 60.445 MiB 0 hz 700 ms 0 1 60.449 MiB 1.363 MiB 0 hz 600 ms 18 2 61.812 MiB 144.000 KiB 0 hz 0 ns 1 3 61.953 MiB 1.922 MiB 0 hz 2.400 s 19 4 63.875 MiB 12.133 MiB 0 hz 200 ms 0 [...] 500 5.132 GiB 8.000 KiB 0 hz 2 m 15.800 s 20 501 5.132 GiB 8.000 KiB 0 hz 2 m 16.200 s 0 502 5.132 GiB 16.000 KiB 0 hz 2 m 16.900 s 20 503 5.132 GiB 24.000 KiB 0 hz 2 m 14.200 s 0 504 5.132 GiB 8.000 KiB 0 hz 2 m 14.900 s 20 [...] 923 7.534 GiB 126.637 MiB 0 hz 0 ns 6 924 7.658 GiB 252.000 KiB 0 hz 54.800 s 20 925 7.658 GiB 142.242 MiB 0 hz 300 ms 0 memory bw estimate: 0 B per second total size: 7.797 GiB record DAMON intervals: sample 5 ms, aggr 100 ms As expected, regions are adjusted to provide the best accurate picture for the anonymous pages distribution (<probe hits>). The region 0 (60.445 MiB memory from the address 4.000 KiB) has nearly zero anonymous pages. The region 1 (1.363 MiB memory from the address 60.449 MiB) is nearly full with anonymous pages. Region 500 (8 KiB memory from the address 5.132 GiB) is certainly two anonymous pages. Future Work =========== Attributes only monitoring disables access monitoring. We will enable that in future, by extending the supported attributes to include data accesses. This patch series, and the future work are parts of the ongoing project [2] for extending DAMON. The project aims to extend DAMON with primitives other than page table accessed bits such as AMD IBS, Intel PEBS, and Arm SPE, to provide more powerful and detailed information like per-CPUs/threads/reads/writes monitoring. Patches Sequence ================ Patch 1 introduces damon_probe->weight for specifying the weights of each attribute. Patches 2-6 extends apply_probe() damon_ops callback to efficiently support the new mode. Patch 7 fixes wrong use of abs() in the regions merge code. Patch 8 extends regions merge function to work with probe hits in the mode. Patch 8 also introduces the function for detecting the mode enablement but always returns false, for safe and incremental changes. Patches 9 and 10 adds user parameters validation to prevent theoretical overflow of probe hits and the weighted sum. Patches 11-14 incrementally update kdamond_fn() to support the mode. Patch 15 completes the mode detection function implementation, so that the new mode really works. Patch 16 introduces a new sysfs file for ABI users. Finally, patches 17-19 respectively updates design, usage and ABI documents for the new feature and interfaces.

2026-08-04mm/damon/core: handle unreset probe_hits in probe_hits_mvsum()SJ Park
If damon_update_monitoring_result() is called at the end of the aggregation interval, probe_hits is not reset. That's because the value will be exposed to the user via damon_region_aggregated trace event. Meanwhile, damon_probe_hits_mvsum() can be called in this state. Due to its logic, it will return a value that is incorrectly high. This could happen if the user requested DAMOS schemes applied regions sysfs files update exactly in the time sequence. The impact is minor, but better to avoid. Check the timing and simply return the fully aggregated last_probe_hits, like damon_nr_accesses_mvsum() also does. It is not 100% accurate since it is the last interval's aggregation. But better than the value that is completely reset.
