The quilt patch titled
     Subject: Docs/mm/damon/index: mention DAMOS on the intro
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     docs-mm-damon-index-mention-damos-on-the-intro.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: Docs/mm/damon/index: mention DAMOS on the intro
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2023 19:03:55 +0000

What DAMON aims to do is not only access monitoring but efficient and
effective access-aware system operations.  And DAMon-based Operation
Schemes (DAMOS) is the important feature of DAMON for the goal.  Make the
intro of DAMON documentation to emphasize the goal and mention DAMOS.
