active_mem_bp
-------------
Desired active to [in]active memory ratio in bp (1/10,000).
While keeping the caps that set by other quotas, DAMON_LRU_SORT automatically
increases and decreases the effective level of the quota aiming the LRU
[de]prioritizations of the hot and cold memory resulting in this active to

Disabled by default.
Auto-tune monitoring intervals
------------------------------
If this parameter is set as ``Y``, DAMON_LRU_SORT automatically tunes DAMON's
sampling and aggregation intervals. The auto-tuning aims to capture meaningful
amount of access events in each DAMON-snapshot, while keeping the sampling
interval 5 milliseconds in minimum, and 10 seconds in maximum. Setting this as
``N`` disables the auto-tuning.
Disabled by default.
filter_young_pages
------------------
Filter [non-]young pages accordingly for LRU [de]prioritizations.
If this is set, check page level access (youngness) once again before each
LRU [de]prioritization operation. LRU prioritization operation is skipped
if the page has not accessed since the last check (not young). LRU
deprioritization operation is skipped if the page has accessed since the
last check (young). The feature is enabled or disabled if this parameter is
set as ``Y`` or ``N``, respectively.
Disabled by default.
