The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon/vaddr: remove comparison between mm and last_mm when checking region accesses has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-vaddr-remove-comparison-between-mm-and-last_mm-when-checking-region-accesses.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/damon/vaddr: remove comparison between mm and last_mm when checking region accesses Date: Sat, 27 Aug 2022 17:02:51 +0800 The damon regions that belong to the same damon target have the same 'struct mm_struct *mm', so it's unnecessary to compare the mm and last_mm objects among the damon regions in one damon target when checking accesses. But the check is necessary when the target changed in '__damon_va_check_accesses()', so we can simplify the whole operation by using the bool 'same_target' to indicate whether the target changed.
