[PATCH 7/7] samples/damon/mtier: add comment for struct region_range
From: SJ Park
Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 13:02:18 EST
From: Enze Li <lienze@xxxxxxxxxx>
The mtier sample defines a local struct region_range using phys_addr_t
instead of damon_addr_range which uses unsigned long. Add a comment
explaining the rationale: on 32-bit systems with more than 4GiB memory,
phys_addr_t will be 64-bit while unsigned long is 32-bit.
