[RFC PATCH v2.2 03/28] mm/damon/core: introduce damon_filter
From: SeongJae Park
Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 20:51:41 EST
Define a data structure for constructing damon_probe's attributes check,
namely damon_filter. It is very similar to damos_filter but works only
for monitoring purposes. Also embed that into damon_probe, implement
essential handling of the link, with fundamental helpers.
