[PATCH 24/28] mm/damon/sysfs: add filters/<F>/path file

From: SeongJae Park

Date: Mon May 18 2026 - 19:46:53 EST


Introduce a new DAMON sysfs file for letting users setup the target
memory cgroup of the belonging memory cgroup attribute monitoring. The
file is named 'path', located under the probe filter directory. Users
can set the target memory cgroup by writing the path to the memory
cgroup from the cgroup mount point to the file.
