[PATCH 3/4] mm/damon/lru_sort: enable and disable synchronously

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Tue Oct 25 2022 - 13:37:11 EST


Writing a value to DAMON_RECLAIM's 'enabled' parameter turns on or off
DAMON in an ansychronous way. This means the parameter cannot be used
to read the current status of DAMON_RECLAIM. 'kdamond_pid' parameter
should be used instead for the purpose. The documentation is easy to be
read as it works in a synchronous way, so it is a little bit confusing.
It also makes the user space tooling dirty.

There's no real reason to have the asynchronous behavior, though.
Simply make the parameter works synchronously, rather than updating the
document.
