[PATCH v4 1/3] mm/damon: Introduce DAMOS_QUOTA_HUGEPAGE auto tuning

From: SJ Park

Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 15:35:53 EST


From: Asier Gutierrez <gutierrez.asier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce DAMOS_QUOTA_HUGEPAGE_MEM_BP auto tuning. Add a new DAMOS quota
goal metric to measure the amount of huge page consumption to total
memory consumption ratio.

Vmstat may lag, which in some cases may lead to NR_FREE_PAGES being
greater than or equal to the amount of RAM in the system. A guard is
added to avoid the extremely unlikely case [1]. In the case, return 100%
(10000 bp).
