Re: [PATCH] mm/damon/reclaim: Use resource_size function on resource object

[Boehme, Markus]

(Keeping SJ's mail for context, since original patch seems to not have
gone to the DAMON list.)

This is not just fixing the warning, but changing the calculation
slightly to correctly determine size (res->end not pointing one beyond
the end, but to the last address in the region). For finding the
biggest region it doesn't matter being off by one consistently, but
just fixing one side of the comparison changes behavior in the presence
of two equal regions. When fixing both sides, the "struct
damon_reclaim_ram_walk_arg" might just be replaced with a "struct
resource", too.
