Patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling".
DAMON operations set for physical address space, namely 'paddr', treats
tail pages as unaccessed always. It can also apply DAMOS action to a
large folio multiple times within single DAMOS' regions walking. As a
result, the monitoring output has poor quality and DAMOS works in
unexpected ways when large folios are being used. Fix those.
The patches were parts of Usama's hugepage_size DAMOS filter patch
series[1]. The first fix has collected from there with a slight commit
message change for the subject prefix. The second fix is re-written by SJ
and posted as an RFC before this series. The second one also got a slight
commit message change for the subject prefix.

This patch (of 2):
This effectively adds support for large folios in damon for paddr, as
damon_pa_mkold/young won't get a null folio from this function and won't
ignore it, hence access will be checked and reported. This also means
that larger folios will be considered for different DAMOS actions like
pageout, prioritization and migration. As these DAMOS actions will
consider larger folios, iterate through the region at folio_size and not
PAGE_SIZE intervals. This should not have an affect on vaddr, as
damon_young_pmd_entry considers pmd entries.

When calculating the hotness of each region for the under-quota regions
prioritization, DAMON divides some values by the maximum nr_accesses.
However, due to the type of the related variables, simple division-based
calculation of the divisor can return zero. As a result, divide-by-zero
is possible. Fix it by using damon_max_nr_accesses(), which handles the
case.

DAMON monitoring attributes are directly defined as fields of 'struct
damon_ctx'. This makes 'struct damon_ctx' a little long and complicated.
This commit defines and uses a struct, 'struct damon_attrs', which is
dedicated for only the monitoring attributes to make the purpose of the
five values clearer and simplify 'struct damon_ctx'.

This commit adds a new DAMOS action called 'LRU_PRIO' for the physical
address space. The action prioritizes pages in the memory regions of the
user-specified target access pattern on their LRU lists. This is hence
supposed to be used for frequently accessed (hot) memory regions so that
hot pages could be more likely protected under memory pressure.
Internally, it simply calls 'mark_page_accessed()'.

Patch series "Allow DAMON user code independent of monitoring primitives".
In-kernel DAMON user code is required to configure the monitoring context
(struct damon_ctx) with proper monitoring primitives (struct
damon_primitive). This makes the user code dependent to all supporting
monitoring primitives. For example, DAMON debugfs interface depends on
both DAMON_VADDR and DAMON_PADDR, though some users have interest in only
one use case. As more monitoring primitives are introduced, the problem
will be bigger.
To minimize such unnecessary dependency, this patchset makes monitoring
primitives can be registered by the implemnting code and later dynamically
searched and selected by the user code.
In addition to that, this patchset renames monitoring primitives to
monitoring operations, which is more easy to intuitively understand what
it means and how it would be structed.
This patch (of 8):
DAMON has a set of callback functions called monitoring primitives and let
it can be configured with various implementations for easy extension for
different address spaces and usages. However, the word 'primitive' is not
so explicit. Meanwhile, many other structs resembles similar purpose
calls themselves 'operations'. To make the code easier to be understood,
this commit renames 'damon_primitives' to 'damon_operations' before it is
too late to rename.
