Currently, DAMON sysfs interface doesn't provide a way for adjusting DAMON input parameters while it is turned on. Therefore, users who want to reconfigure DAMON need to stop DAMON and restart. This means all the monitoring results that accumulated so far, which could be useful, should be flushed. This would be inefficient for many cases. For an example, let's suppose a sysadmin was running a DAMON-based Operation Scheme to find memory regions not accessed for more than 5 mins and page out the regions. If it turns out the 5 mins threshold was too long and therefore the sysadmin wants to reduce it to 4 mins, the sysadmin should turn off DAMON, restart it, and wait for at least 4 more minutes so that DAMON can find the cold memory regions, even though DAMON was knowing there are regions that not accessed for 4 mins at the time of shutdown. This commit makes DAMON sysfs interface to support online DAMON input parameters updates by adding a new input keyword for the 'state' DAMON sysfs file, 'commit'. Writing the keyword to the 'state' file while the corresponding kdamond is running makes the kdamond to read the sysfs file values again and update the DAMON context.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
