- Split DAMON debugfs file open warning message (Randy Dunlap)

-----

DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be deprecated after >v5.15 LTS
kernel is released.  And, v6.1.y has announced to be an LTS[1].

Though the announcement was there for a while, some people might not
noticed that so far.  Also, some users could depend on it and have
problems at  movng to the alternative (DAMON sysfs interface).

For such cases, keep the code and documents with warning messages and
contacts to ask helps for the deprecation.

I usually sent this kind of update for after-merged-into-mm-unstable tree
patches individusally as fixup, but this time I sent whole patchset as a new
version, because I was out of my mind.

For someone who may prefer the usual for-fixup individual patch, attaching the
version below.


Thanks,
SJ

Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable] mm/damon/dbgfs: break too long deprecation
 warning message

DAMON debugfs interface deprecation message, which is introduced by
commit 234a68e24b12 ("mm/damon/dbgfs: print DAMON debugfs interface
deprecation message") of mm-unstable, is too long.  Break down into
multiple strings for better code readability.

Fixes: 234a68e24b12 ("mm/damon/dbgfs: print DAMON debugfs interface deprecation message") # mm-unstable
