Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval". DAMOS tried regions update feature of DAMON sysfs interface is doing the update for one aggregation interval after the request is made. Since the per-scheme apply interval is supported, that behavior makes no much sense. That is, the tried regions directory will have regions from multiple DAMON monitoring results snapshots, or no region for apply intervals that much shorter than, or longer than the aggregation interval, respectively. Update the behavior to update the regions for each scheme for only its apply interval, and update the document. Since DAMOS apply interval is the aggregation by default, this change makes no visible behavioral difference to old users who don't explicitly set the apply intervals. Patches Sequence ---------------- The first two patches makes schemes of apply intervals that much shorter or longer than the aggregation interval to keep the maximum and minimum times for continuing the update. After the two patches, the update aligns with the each scheme's apply interval. Finally, the third patch updates the document to reflect the behavior. This patch (of 3): DAMON_SYSFS exposes every DAMON-found region that eligible for applying the scheme action for one aggregation interval. However, each DAMON-based operation scheme has its own apply interval. Hence, for a scheme that having its apply interval much smaller than the aggregation interval, DAMON_SYSFS will expose the scheme regions that applied to more than one DAMON monitoring results snapshots. Since the purpose of DAMON tried regions is exposing single snapshot, this makes no much sense. Track progress of each scheme's tried regions update and avoid the case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
