21What:		/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/<K>/state
22Date:		Mar 2022
23Contact:	SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>
24Description:	Writing 'on' or 'off' to this file makes the kdamond starts or
25		stops, respectively.  Reading the file returns the keywords
26		based on the current status.  Writing 'commit' to this file
27		makes the kdamond reads the user inputs in the sysfs files
28		except 'state' again.  Writing 'commit_schemes_quota_goals' to
29		this file makes the kdamond reads the quota goal files again.
30		Writing 'update_schemes_stats' to the file updates contents of
31		schemes stats files of the kdamond.  Writing
32		'update_schemes_tried_regions' to the file updates contents of
33		'tried_regions' directory of every scheme directory of this
34		kdamond.  Writing 'update_schemes_tried_bytes' to the file
35		updates only '.../tried_regions/total_bytes' files of this
36		kdamond.  Writing 'clear_schemes_tried_regions' to the file
37		removes contents of the 'tried_regions' directory.  Writing
38		'update_schemes_effective_quotas' to the file updates
39		'.../quotas/effective_bytes' files of this kdamond.
