[RFC PATCH 02/13] mm/damon/damos: Make schemes aggressiveness controllable

From: sj38 . park
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 10:53:40 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

If there are too large memory regions fulfilling the target data access
pattern of a DAMON-based operation scheme, applying the action of the
scheme could consume too much CPU. To avoid that, this commit
implements a limit for the action application speed. Using the feature,
the client can set up to how much amount of memory regions the action
could applied within specific time duration.
