Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". DAMON context struct (damon_ctx) contains user requests (parameters), internal status, and operation results. For flexible usages, DAMON API users are encouraged to manually manipulate the struct. That works well for simple use cases. However, it has turned out that it is not that simple at least for online parameters udpate. It is easy to forget properly maintaining internal status and operation results. Also, such manual manipulation for online tuning is implemented multiple times on DAMON API users including DAMON sysfs interface, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT. As a result, we have multiple sources of bugs for same problem. Actually we found and fixed a few bugs from online parameter updating of DAMON API users. Implement a function for online DAMON parameters update in core layer, and replace DAMON API users' manual manipulation code for the use case. The core layer function could still have bugs, but this change reduces the source of bugs for the problem to one place. This patch (of 12): Implement functions for supporting online DAMOS quota goals parameters update. The function receives two DAMOS quota structs. One is the struct that currently being used by a kdamond and therefore to be updated. The other one contains the parameters to be applied to the first one. The function applies the new parameters to the destination struct while keeping/updating the internal status. The function should be called from parameters-update safe place, like DAMON callbacks.

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 reStructuredText 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.
