[PATCH 1/2] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: describe the rules of sysfs region directories

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Mon Oct 24 2022 - 15:13:14 EST


Target region directories of DAMON sysfs interface should contain no
overlap and sorted by the address, but not clearly documented.
Actually, a user had an issue[1] due to the poor documentation. Add
clear description of it on the usage document.

can set and get the start and end addresses of the initial monitoring target
region by writing to and reading from the files, respectively.

+Each region should not overlap with others. ``end`` of directory ``N`` should
+be equal or smaller than ``start`` of directory ``N+1``.
