[PATCH] mm/damon/core: introduce damon_set_target_pid()
From: Enze Li
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 08:54:51 EST
The logic that finds the struct pid for a given pid number and assigns
it to a damon_target is duplicated in multiple places. Including
damon_sysfs_add_target() of mm/damon/sysfs.c and the start functions
of the two sample modules, samples/damon/wsse.c and
samples/damon/prcl.c. Add a function that does the work, and replace
the duplicated code in the places with calls to the function.
