[RFC PATCH v2 07/17] mm/damon/core: introduce damon_operations->prep_probes()
From: SJ Park
Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 13:40:05 EST
damon_prep needs to be executed by the underlying DAMON operation set.
Extend the operation set callback list for the execution of damon_prep
actions. If the underlying operation set implements the callback, DAMON
core executes it in the monitoring preparation time.
