So, the Linux kernel has this thing called DAMON [1] for "light-weight data access monitoring". Basically it adds some interesting features to Linux we haven't had before, including proactive reclaim and some administrator control over lru sorting. I gather it was originally created mostly for datacenters, but as the focus is eliminating stalls I feel like there is some potential to be useful in the linux desktop where interactivity is important. The aur package for damo (user space tool) is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/damo.
As of right now, there doesn't appear to be any mention of DAMON on the wiki, let alone a page describing potential configurations, and I didn't find anything searching the forums, so I want to start an exploratory discussion here. Has anyone tried DAMON in a desktop setting (or at all)? Was it helpful? Any ideas what might be good configs for the desktop or for various (esp. memory intensive) workloads?
