Subject: [PATCH 4/7] mm/damon: document non-zero length damon_region assumption
Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2026 11:53:52 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260307195356.203753-5-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260307195356.203753-1-sj@kernel.org>
DAMON regions are assumed to always be non-zero length. There was a
confusion [1] about it, probably due to lack of the documentation.
Document it.
