[RFC PATCH 2/4] mm/damon/core: Allow non-exclusive DAMON start/stop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To avoid interference between DAMON users, current start/stop functions
of DAMON allows only exclusive groups.  This makes use of DAMON a little
bit restrictive.  Meanwhile, admins could somehow aware each DAMON usage
and therefore could address the interference on their own.  This commit
hence allows callers of the functions to specify if the contexts should
run in an exclusive mode or not.
