It would be a good practice to mention the changes from the previous version of
this patch here[1].

I agree that this must be the cleaner way than v2. But, I get below warning
after applying this:

$ sudo make -C tools/testing/selftests/damon run_tests
make: Entering directory '/home/sjpark/linux/tools/testing/selftests/damon'
gcc huge_count_read_write.c -o /home/sjpark/linux/tools/testing/selftests/damon/huge_count_read_write
huge_count_read_write.c:6:32: warning: unknown option after ‘#pragma GCC diagnostic’ kind [-Wpragmas]
6 | #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstringop-overread"
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My gcc version is:

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0


Thanks,
SJ
