[PATCH v2 3/7] mm/damon: introduce DAMOS_DEMOTE action for demotion

From: Honggyu Kim
Date: Mon Feb 26 2024 - 09:10:28 EST


This patch introduces DAMOS_DEMOTE action, which is similar to
DAMOS_PAGEOUT, but demote folios instead of swapping them out.

Since there are some common routines with pageout, many functions have
similar logics between pageout and demote.

damon_pa_migrate_folio_list() is a minimized version of
shrink_folio_list(), but it's minified only for demotion.
