[PATCH 13/14] mm/damon/reclaim: support online inputs update

From: sj
Date: Fri Apr 29 2022 - 12:07:03 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx>

DAMON_RECLAIM reads the user input parameters only when it starts. To
allow more efficient online tuning, this commit implements a new input
parameter called 'commit_inputs'. Writing true to the parameter makes
DAMON_RECLAIM reads the input parameters again.
