Subject: mm/damon/reclaim: add a parameter called skip_anon for avoiding anonymous pages reclamation
Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2022 23:08:22 +0000
In some cases, for example if users have confidence at anonymous pages
management or the swap device is too slow, users would want to avoid
DAMON_RECLAIM swapping the anonymous pages out. For such case, add yet
another DAMON_RECLAIM parameter, namely 'skip_anon'. When it is set as
'Y', DAMON_RECLAIM will avoid reclaiming anonymous pages using a DAMOS
filter.
