Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 12/37] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document sample primitives dir
Date: Sun, 7 Dec 2025 22:29:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251208062943.68824-13-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251208062943.68824-1-sj@kernel.org>
Update DAMON usage document for the selective access sampling primitives
activation, which is essential for using page fault events as the access
check sampling primitive.
