Subject: [PATCH v3 12/19] mm/ksw: manage start/stop of stack watching
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 13:31:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910053147.1152253-4-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250910053147.1152253-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>
Introduce helper functions to start and stop watching the configured
function. These handle initialization/cleanup of both stack and watch
components, and maintain a `watching_active` flag to track current state.
Ensure procfs write triggers proper stop/start sequence, and show handler
indicates watching status.
