[PATCH 3/3] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: Fix incorrect option syntax in perf example

From: Adrian Huang (Lenovo)

Date: Tue Oct 06 2026 - 02:19:50 EST


The kill command in the DAMON documentation uses an incorrect
option syntax in the perf example.

Use kill -9 instead of kill 9 to correctly send SIGKILL to
the perf process.
