Subject: Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document empty target regions commit behavior
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2025 11:22:09 -0700

Committing a monitoring target with empty target regions is for keeping
the current monitoring results.  This behavior was introduced by commit
973233600676 ("mm/damon/sysfs: update monitoring target regions for online
input commit").  The behavior is not documented, though.  Update the usage
document for clarifying this behavior.
