Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: update for kdamond_pid and (mk|rm)_contexts
The DAMON debugfs usage document is missing descriptions for 'kdamond_pid', 'mk_contexts', and 'rm_contexts' debugfs files. This commit adds those.

Monitoring Thread PID
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
DAMON does requested monitoring with a kernel thread called ``kdamond``. You
|
||||
can get the pid of the thread by reading the ``kdamond_pid`` file. When the
|
||||
monitoring is turned off, reading the file returns ``none``. ::
|
||||
|
||||
# cd <debugfs>/damon
|
||||
# cat monitor_on
|
||||
off
|
||||
# cat kdamond_pid
|
||||
none
|
||||
# echo on > monitor_on
|
||||
# cat kdamond_pid

|
||||
Using Multiple Monitoring Threads
|
||||
---------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
One ``kdamond`` thread is created for each monitoring context. You can create
|
||||
and remove monitoring contexts for multiple ``kdamond`` required use case using
|
||||
the ``mk_contexts`` and ``rm_contexts`` files.
|
||||
|
||||
Writing the name of the new context to the ``mk_contexts`` file creates a
|
||||
directory of the name on the DAMON debugfs directory. The directory will have
|
||||
DAMON debugfs files for the context. ::
|
||||
|
||||
# cd <debugfs>/damon
|
||||
# ls foo
|
||||
# ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory
|
||||
# echo foo > mk_contexts
|
||||
# ls foo
|
||||
# attrs init_regions kdamond_pid schemes target_ids
|
||||
|
||||
If the context is not needed anymore, you can remove it and the corresponding
|
||||
directory by putting the name of the context to the ``rm_contexts`` file. ::
|
||||
|
||||
# echo foo > rm_contexts
|
||||
# ls foo
|
||||
# ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory
|
||||
|
||||
Note that ``mk_contexts``, ``rm_contexts``, and ``monitor_on`` files are in the
|
||||
root directory only.
