[PATCH v3 1/3] mm/damon: Introduce DAMOS_QUOTA_HUGEPAGE auto tuning

From: gutierrez.asier

Date: Mon Jul 20 2026 - 08:10:02 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 equal to the amount of RAM in the system. A guard is added
to avoid the extremely unlikely case of a division by 0.[1] In that
we return INT_MAX, which should be enough not to apply any DAMOS
action until the NR_FREE_PAGES is updated.
