Patch series "mm/damon: fixes for address alignment issues in
DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM", v2.
In DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM, damon_set_regions() will apply
DAMON_MIN_REGION as the core address alignment, and the monitoring target
address ranges would be aligned on DAMON_MIN_REGION * addr_unit. When
users 1) set addr_unit to a value larger than 1, and 2) set the monitoring
target address range as not aligned on DAMON_MIN_REGION * addr_unit, it
will cause DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM to operate on unexpectedly
large physical address ranges.
For example, if the user sets the monitoring target address range to [4,
8) and addr_unit as 1024, the aimed monitoring target address range is [4
KiB, 8 KiB). Assuming DAMON_MIN_REGION is 4096, so resulting target
address range will be [0, 4096) in the DAMON core layer address system,
and [0, 4 MiB) in the physical address space, which is an unexpected
range.
To fix the issue, add a min_sz_region parameter to
damon_set_region_biggest_system_ram_default() and use it when calling
damon_set_regions(), replacing the direct use of DAMON_MIN_REGION.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
