Subject: mm/damon/paddr: activate DAMOS_LRU_PRIO targets instead of marking accessed
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 07:27:09 -0800

DAMOS_LRU_DEPRIOD directly deactivates the pages, while DAMOS_LRU_PRIO
calls folio_mark_accessed(), which does incremental activation.  The
incremental activation was assumed to be useful for making sure the pages
of the hot memory region are really hot.  After the introduction of
DAMOS_LRU_PRIO, the young page filter has added.  Users can use the young
page filter to make sure the page is eligible to be activated.  Meanwhile,
the asymmetric behavior of DAMOS_LRU_[DE]PRIO can confuse users.

Directly activate given pages for DAMOS_LRU_PRIO, to eliminate the
unnecessary incremental activation steps, and be symmetric with
DAMOS_LRU_DEPRIO for easier usages.
