Yes, if stall time above 350ms, I hope only one trigger fire.

Userspace can pick the higest level, but more triggers fire, actually one
trigger fire is enough in this case, and userspace  become more complex.

new trigger is compatible with old.

echo "some 150000 1000000 1000000 " > /proc/pressure/memory

can achieve the same goal with

echo "some 150000 1000000 " > /proc/pressure/memory
