[RFC PATCH 00/14] mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability and tests

[SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>]

Implement minor improvements on code readability and tests for DAMON.

First seven patches are for DAMON code readability and resulting
maintenance.  Patches 1 and 2 make damon_set_regions() safer and easier
to read.  Patches 3 and 4 remove fragmented DAMON API use cases. Patches
5-7 hides unused core functions that are unnecessarily exposed to API
callers.

The following seven patches are for DAMON tests improvement.  Patches 8
and 9 adds and removes DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY verifications to ensure
reasonable test coverage without too high overhead.  Patch 10 adds a new
kunit test for damon_set_regions().  Patch 11 makes sysfs.py selftest
more gracefully finishes under test failures.  Patches 12-13 adds simple
sysfs.sh test cases for the monitoring intervals goal directory, the
addr_unit file and the pause file.

SeongJae Park (14):
  mm/damon/core: safely handle no region case in damon_set_regions()
  mm/damon/core: do not use region out of a loop in damon_set_regions()
  samples/damon/mtier: replace damon_add_region() with
    damon_set_regions()
  mm/damon/tests/vaddr-kunit: replace damon_add_region() with
    damon_set_regions()
  mm/damon/core: hide damon_add_region()
  mm/damon/core: hide damon_insert_region()
  mm/damon/core: hide damon_destroy_region()
  mm/damon/core: add kdamond_call() debug_sanity check
  mm/damon/core: remove damon_verify_nr_regions()
  mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: add damon_set_regions() test cases
  selftests/damon/sysfs.py: stop kdamonds before failing
  selftests/damon/sysfs.sh: test monitoring intervals goal dir
  selftests/damon/sysfs.sh: test addr_unit file existence
  selftests/damon/sysfs.sh: test pause file existence
