Subject: mm/damon/core: make charge_addr_from aware of end-address exclusivity
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:29:40 -0700

DAMON region end address is exclusive one, but charge_addr_from is
assigned assuming the end address is inclusive.  As a result, DAMOS action
to next up to min_region_sz memory can be skipped.  This is quite
negligible user impact.  But, the bug is a bug that can be very simply
fixed.  Fix the wrong assignment to respect the exclusiveness of the
address.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
