If this loop is only for passing sidx and tidx to the trace point, you can
add around it:

	if (trace_damos_before_apply_enabled()) {

> +	damon_for_each_scheme(siter, c) {
> +		if (siter == s)

> +	}

	}


And then this loop will only be done if that trace event is enabled.

To prevent races, you may also want to add a third parameter, or initialize
them to -1:

	sidx = -1;

	if (trace_damo_before_apply_enabled()) {
		sidx = 0;
		[..]
	}

And you can change the TRACE_EVENT() TO TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION():

TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION(damos_before_apply,

	TP_PROTO(...),

	TP_ARGS(...),

	TP_CONDITION(sidx >= 0),

and the trace event will not be called if sidx is less than zero.

Also, this if statement is only done when the trace event is enabled, so
it's equivalent to:

	if (trace_damos_before_apply_enabled()) {
		if (sdx >= 0)
			trace_damos_before_apply(cidx, sidx, tidx, r,
					damon_nr_regions(t));
	}
