[Andrew Morton]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/sysfs: remove duplicated commit input validity check
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-damon-sysfs-remove-duplicated-commit-input-validity-check.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-damon-sysfs-remove-duplicated-commit-input-validity-check.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 08:55:54 -0700

DAMON sysfs interface does parameters validation-purpose
damon_commit_ctx() calls for parameters update.  Now the same logic is
embedded inside damon_commit_ctx() itself.  Hence, the validation in DAMON
sysfs interface is just an unnecessary duplicate.  Remove it.
