It is hard to provide such an in-tree kernel user. We are trying to implement newer congestion control algorithms as dynamically loaded modules. For example, Copa(NSDI'18) which is adopted by Facebook needs to maintain such windowed min filters. Althought it is true that we can just copy-and-paste the code inside lib/win_minmax, it it more convenient to give the same status of minmax_running_min as minmax_running_max. It is confusing that only minmax_running_max is exported. If this patch is rejected because the changes are too significant, I can also understand.
Thanks.
