SeongJae Park 04e98764be mm/damon/reclaim: enable and disable synchronously
Patch series "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: enable/disable synchronously".

Writing a value to DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT's 'enabled' parameters
turns on or off DAMON in an ansychronous way.  This means the parameter
cannot be used to read the current status of them.  '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.

The first and second patches changes the behavior of the 'enabled'
parameter for DAMON_RECLAIM and adds a selftest for the changed behavior,
respectively.  Following two patches make the same changes for
DAMON_LRU_SORT.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
