[RFC PATCH v3 05/28] mm/damon/core: introduce damon_region->probe_hits
From: SeongJae Park
Date: Sat May 16 2026 - 14:40:28 EST
Add an array for the per-region per-probe positive samples count. For
simple and efficient implementation, add a limit to the number of data
probes and set the array to support only the limited number of counters.
