Just pushed a new hkml feature for finding patch mails touching files for a reviewer based on MAINTAINERS file. More stabilizations and improvements would be needed, but seems working in a way? Kudos to @ljs for sharing the idea!

To use the feature, open mails list using 'hkml list' on linux tree, press 'm' key to open menu, and select 'search mails' item.

I sometimes get confused at DAMON build configs. Maybe some distros enabling DAMON might gone or going through similar problems.

I hence just sent an RFC series for simplifying it by build-enabling DAMON by default.

Based on a feedback from my colleague, we implemented an hkml [1] feature for finding patch mails that need more or no more attentions based on 'Reviewed-by:' tags.

Open mails list using 'hkml list', press 'm' key to open menu, and select 'search mails' item.

Researchers found automatically tuning parameters can improve memory tieirng performance by 2x, using DAMON and SK hynix' DAMON-based memory tiering solution as a part of the research.

I'm sure @sj will be happy to hear that very soon the kernel in @opensuse Tumbleweed and later Leap 16.0 will be built with DAMON enabled!

@vbabka @opensuse I'm more than happy and exciting to hear this! :D Thank you for sharing this, @vbabka !

Looking forward to more opportunities to help making it more optimum and useful for SUSE users and developers!

I finally realized that I cannot implement one access pattern visualization that fits all. Hence next DAMON user-space tool release will contain programmable visualization feature. Users can program their access pattern visualization in Python code, as a script or interactively on the Python interpreter.

Yet another DAMON-citation from a HCDS'25 paper is found. The paper discusses h/w-based CXL coherency management.

@LWN LWN made an excellent summary of the two DAMON sessions that we had at LSFMM+BPF 2025: https://lwn.net/Articles/1016525/

@brauner @monsieuricon The link didn't work on my web browser, too (the page was saying "page not found"), a few hours ago. It works now, though.

An EuroSys'25 paper for proactive demotion on tiered memory managment is published. It also shares their evaluation of a DAMON-based tiering approach that is being used by HMSDK.

MM pull request[1] for Linux 6.15-rc1 is merged. I'd summarize DAMON changes that merged with the pull request as below.

- Monitoring intervals auto-tuning
- Extending DAMOS filter types for hugepage, LRU-[in]active page, and [un]mapped pages
- DAMOS allow filters behavior improvement
- Important cleanups and fixes of code and documents

There are many more interesting changes, too. I highly recommend reading Andrew Morton's great summary on the pull request mail!

Numbers are numbers, but seeing my name on the "Most active 6.14 developer" list[1] is a grateful moment.

DAMON Self-Tuned Memory Tiering Shows Nice Improvement For Linux Servers

Linux developer SeongJae Park has posted a set of patches for the Linux kernel's wonderful DAMON code to provide for self-tuned memory tiering that "just works" and is racking up some nice performance wins...

I just posted an RFC patch series for making DAMON-based memory tiering self-tuned and just works. It contains evaluation of DAMON-based memory tiering that shows 4.42 % performance improvement over baseline and ~10% improvement over NUMA Balancing in memory tiering mode under a setup.
