    [$] Using DAMON for proactive reclaim
    The DAMON patch set was first covered here
    in early 2020; this work, now in its
    34th revision    , enables the efficient collection of information about
    memory-usage patterns on Linux systems. That data can then be used to
    influence the kernel's memory-management subsystem; one possible way to do
    that is to more aggressively reclaim memory that is not being used. To
    that end, DAMON author SeongJae Park is proposing a
    DAMON-based mechanism     to perform user-controllable proactive reclaim.
