It provides best-effort high quality monitoring results while incurring only minimal and upper-bounded overhead, due to its practical overhead-accuracy tradeoff mechanism. On a production machine utilizing 70 GB memory, it can repeatedly scan accesses to the whole memory for every 5ms, while consuming only 1% single CPU time. On top of it, a data access pattern-oriented memory management engine called DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) is implemented. It allows clients to implement their access pattern oriented memory management logic with very simple scheme descriptions. We implemented fine-grained access-aware THP and proactive reclamation using this engine in three lines of scheme and achieved remarkable improvements[2]. As of this writing (2021-05-28), the code is not in the mainline but available at its development tree[3], and regularly posted to LKML as patchsets[4,5,6]. Nevertheless, the code has already merged in the public Amazon Linux kernel trees[7,8], and all Amazon Linux users can use DAMON/DAMOS off the box. We are also supporting the two latest upstream LTS stable kernels[9,10]. Agenda ------ In this talk, I will briefly introduce DAMON/DAMOS and present how you can write a fine-grained data access pattern oriented lightweight kernel module on top of DAMON/DAMOS. With the talk, I will write an example module and evaluate its performance on live. A data access-aware proactive reclamation kernel module for production use will also introduced as a use case. After that, I will discuss my future plans for improving DAMON and improving other kernel subsystems using DAMON/DAMOS.
