[RFC PATCH 2/5] mm/damon: Add debugfs interface

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Fri Jan 10 2020 - 08:16:24 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

This commit adds a debugfs interface for DAMON.

DAMON exports three files, ``attrs``, ``pids``, and ``monitor_on`` under
its debugfs directory, ``<debugfs>/damon/``.

Attributes
----------

Users can read and write the ``sampling interval``, ``aggregation
interval``, ``regions update interval``, min/max number of regions, and
the path to ``result file`` by reading from and writing to the ``attrs``
file. For example, below commands set those values to 5 ms, 100 ms,
1,000 ms, 10, 1000, and ``/damon.data`` and check it again::

# cd <debugfs>/damon
# echo 5000 100000 1000000 10 1000 /damon.data > attrs
# cat attrs
5000 100000 1000000 10 1000 /damon.data

Target PIDs
-----------

Users can read and write the pids of current monitoring target processes
by reading from and writing to the `pids` file. For example, below
commands set processes having pids 42 and 4242 as the processes to be
monitored and check it again::

# cd <debugfs>/damon
# echo 42 4242 > pids
# cat pids
42 4242

Note that setting the pids doesn't starts the monitoring.

Turning On/Off
--------------

You can check current status, start and stop the monitoring by reading
from and writing to the ``monitor_on`` file. Writing ``on`` to the file
starts DAMON to monitor the target processes with the attributes.
Writing ``off`` to the file stops DAMON. DAMON also stops if every
target processes is be terminated. Below example commands turn on, off,
and check status of DAMON::

# cd <debugfs>/damon
# echo on > monitor_on
# echo off > monitor_on
# cat monitor_on
off

Please note that you cannot write to the ``attrs`` and ``pids`` files
while the monitoring is turned on. If you write to the files while
DAMON is running, ``-EINVAL`` will be returned.
