Maintaining DAMON (https://damonitor.github.io). All opinions are my own.

I started running my humble DAMON CI test for stable kernels and reporting [1] the results again.

One of my takeaways from the last three weeks of travel is that stable kernels need more attention. Particularly I'm not spending enough attention for DAMON in stable kernels.

I used to run the humble DAMON CI test for stable kernels and report results. Since I lost the test machines, however, I stopped doing that. After returning from the trip, I spent time to setup the CI again on my mini desktop [2] and seems it works.

Next Tuesday, there will be the first DAMON (nano) Conference [1] at LPC. Seven authors will present five lightning talks. Topics include DAMON extensions, and usages for tiered memory dynamic interleave, hugepage and AI cloud workload. Looking forward to meeting you!

Massive thanks to @corbet for being this year's godfather, you set the bar dangerously high!

And the torch now passes to @dwmw2 for 2027! No pressure. 🔥

Impressive paper. DeepSeek is saving [1] 21.2% of memory using DAMON on their production sandbox platform, DSec.

I'm calling the community for help. If you would like your voice heard at the Maintainer Summit, please contact me by e-mail (laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com) to share your opinions on AI usage in the Linux kernel. Unless you explicitly request to be named, I will strictly respect your privacy and anonymize all the feedback I receive before sharing it with kernel maintainers. Please don't wait until the last minute as the week leading to the summit will be very busy. (5/5)

@sj now moves on to another area, memory management: how to handle more data with less memory with DAMOS.

We now publish tar'd up shallow git clones you can use with your CI. Please carefully read the safety caveats and use the script we provide to make sure you're not getting something malicious:

The season for conferences is back. I will travel for three weeks, starting from tomorrow. During the trip, I will give four talks in three conferences.

Next week, I will be in Paris for Kernel Recipes. I will have a talk [1] introducing DAMOS. After the conference, I will head to Prague for LPC and OSSummit Europe.

After enjoying Prague for a week, I will have two talks in LPC. One [2] for updates of DAMON work for memory tiering and general NUMA management at Special Purpose Memory Management Micro-Conference, Monday. And another one [3] for the beyond-page table accessed bit DAMON extension community collaboration project at DAMON (Nano) Conference, Tuesday.

Finally, I will share [4] how DAMON could be effectively used in Open Source Summit Europe, Wednesday.

Looking forward to meeting people in Paris and Prague. If you find me, please feel free to come and shake my hand in person!

Five years ago today, DAMON was merged [1] into the mainline. It was grateful years. I learned things much more than I expected in the five years. Hopefully DAMON gave some fun and wins to people. I'm looking forward to the next five years.

Deliveries are on the track. We start the milestone 2 of DAMON extension beyond the page table accessed bit for AMD IBS-like h/w features and per-CPUs-like detailed monitoring. Milestone 1 is considered to be delivered on time. Milestone 2 will take time, but seems still doable by the planned timeline.

Linux 7.3-rc1 is released. Hence DAMON newsletter [1] for the cycle is also published.

TL; DR:

Just after breaking the record of DAMON history in the last cycle, this cycle
again broke the record. It was the busiest cycle of DAMON history. 20 authors
made 161 commits and 2283 lines of changes for DAMON on the Linux mainline. A
new data attributes monitoring feature, a few optimizations for DAMON users,
and quite a lot of refactoring are delivered. New DAMON usages and development
projects are shared. The first DAMON (nano) Conference is scheduled.

Jason Angelov developed an interesting project, "Cold Pages DAMON Pager". It utilizes DAMON to find cold pages and than compress those.

Some talks just write themselves, @KernelRecipes is going to be fun this year!

(not that it's not fun every year, but you get the idea...)
