Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] mm/damon/core: Fix fake load reports due to uninterruptible sleeps
Date:   Fri, 26 Nov 2021 14:50:15 +0000
Message-Id: <20211126145015.15862-3-sj@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20211126145015.15862-1-sj@kernel.org>
References: <20211126145015.15862-1-sj@kernel.org>
Precedence: bulk

Because DAMON sleeps in uninterruptible mode, /proc/loadavg reports fake
load while DAMON is turned on, though it is doing nothing.  This can
confuse users[1].  To avoid the case, this commit makes DAMON sleeps in
idle mode.
