Subject[PATCH 7/8] mm/damon: introduce DAMON-based LRU-lists Sorting
Date
Users can do data access-aware LRU-lists sorting using 'LRU_PRIO' and
'LRU_DEPRIO' DAMOS actions. However, finding best parameters including
the hotness/coldness thresholds, CPU quota, and watermarks could be
challenging for some users. To make the scheme easy to be used without
complex tuning for common situations, this commit implements a static
kernel module called 'DAMON_LRU_SORT' using the 'LRU_PRIO' and
'LRU_DEPRIO' DAMOS actions.

It proactively sorts LRU-lists using DAMON with conservatively chosen
default values of the parameters. That is, the module under its default
parameters will make no harm for common situations but provide some
level of efficiency improvements for systems having clear hot/cold
access pattern under a level of memory pressure while consuming only a
limited small portion of CPU time.
