[PATCH v8 07/15] mm/damon: Implement callbacks

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Mon Apr 06 2020 - 09:14:42 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

This commit implements callbacks for DAMON. Using this, DAMON users can
install their callbacks for each step of the access monitoring so that
they can do something interesting with the monitored access patterns
online. For example, callbacks can report the monitored patterns to
users or do some access pattern based memory management such as
proactive reclamations or access pattern based THP promotions/demotions
decision makings.
