[merged mm-stable] mm-damon-core-reduce-stack-usage-further.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/core: reduce stack usage further
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-damon-core-reduce-stack-usage-further.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: mm/damon/core: reduce stack usage further
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 01:39:56 -0700

In a previous patch, I had annotated kdamond_tune_intervals() as
noinline_for_stack in order to not exceed the stack frame warning limit. 
Unfortunately, my current linux-next randconfig builds show a similar
problem again with clang-21:

mm/damon/core.c:3953:12: error: stack frame size (1288) exceeds limit (1280) in 'kdamond_fn' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
 3953 | static int kdamond_fn(void *data)

Do the same thing with kdamond_apply_schemes(), kdamond_merge_regions(),
and kdamond_split_regions(), which also have individually large stacks. 
This should work to keep the deepest total stack depth down much more as
well as avoid the warning.

I also tried to reduce the complexity of kdamond_fn() itself by splitting
out the while() loop into a separate function.  While this arguably led to
slightly more readable code, it had no effect on the total stack usage and
just made the new function the largest stack user and had a nonzero risk
of me getting the conversion wrong.
