[RFC PATCH 1/2] mm/damon/reclaim: add autotune_monitoring_intervals parameter

From: SeongJae Park

Date: Tue Apr 14 2026 - 00:53:19 EST


DAMON's monitoring intervals auto-tuning feature has proven to be useful
in multiple environments. DAMON_RECLAIM is still asking users to do the
manual tuning of the intervals. Add a module parameter for utilizing
the auto-tuning feature with the suggested default setup.
