Patch series "mm/damon: add a DAMOS filter type for page granularity access recheck". DAMON provides its best-effort accuracy-overhead tradeoff under the user-defined ranges of acceptable level of the monitoring accuracy and overhead. A recent discussion for tiered memory management support from DAMON[1] concluded that finding memory regions of specific access pattern with low overhead despite of low accuracy via DAMON first, and then double checking the access of the region again in a finer (e.g., page) granularity could be a useful strategy for some DAMOS schemes. Add a new type of DAMOS filter, namely 'young' for such a case. It checks each page of DAMOS target region is accessed since the last check, and filters it out or in if 'matching' parameter is 'true' or 'false', respectively. Because this is a filter type that applied in page granularity, the support depends on DAMON operations set, similar to 'anon' and 'memcg' DAMOS filter types. Implement the support on the DAMON operations set for the physical address space, 'paddr', since one of the expected usages[1] is based on the physical address space. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240227235121.153277-1-sj@kernel.org This patch (of 7): damon_pa_young() receives physical address, get the folio covering the address, and show if the folio is accessed since the last check. A following commit will reuse the internal logic for checking access to a given folio. To avoid duplication of the code, split the internal logic. Also, change the rmap walker function's name from __damon_pa_young() to damon_folio_young_one(), following the change of the caller's name and the naming rule that more commonly used by other rmap walkers.

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 reStructuredText 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.
