[RFC PATCH 2/5] mm/damon/sysfs: implement a command for updating only schemes tried total bytes

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Fri Jul 28 2023 - 16:18:38 EST


Using tried_regions/total_bytes file, users can efficiently retrieve the
total size of memory regions having specific access pattern. However,
DAMON sysfs interface in kernel still populates all the infomration on
the tried_regions subdirectories. That means the kernel part overhead
for the construction of tried regions directories still exists. To
remove the overhead, implement yet another command input for 'state'
DAMON sysfs file. Writing the input to the file makes DAMON sysfs
interface to update only the total_bytes file.
