Hence the check is necessary. There could be many regions(1000 max limit) in one target and the mm is same within the target, maybe we don't need to maintain the 'last_mm' and do the check every time when the target is same. But yes, the check is necessary when the target changed in '__damon_va_check_accesses()', this RFC patch missed this case :) will fix it. > > If I'm missing something, please let me know. > > > Thanks, > SJ > > [...]
