Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3. This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue. The first patch makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced function. This patch (of 2): Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in micro seconds level. Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load. To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range() called usleep_idle_range(). It is same to usleep_range() but sets the state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.

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.
