[RFC PATCH 03/13] damon/core/schemes: Skip already charged targets and regions

From: sj38 . park
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 10:55:10 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

If DAMOS stopped applying action to memory regions due to the speed
limit, it does nothing until next charge window starts. Then, it starts
the work from the beginning of the address space. If there is a huge
memory region at the beginning of the address space and it fulfills the
scheme target data access pattern, the action will applied to only the
region.

This commit mitigates the case by skipping memory regions that charged
in previous charge window at the beginning of current charge window.
