The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon/vaddr: indicate the target is invalid when 'nr_regions' is zero has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-vaddr-indicate-the-target-is-invalid-when-nr_regions-is-zero.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/damon/vaddr: indicate the target is invalid when 'nr_regions' is zero Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2022 17:11:27 +0800 When 'init()' and 'update()' DAMON operations failed and the number of the damon_target regions is zero, the kdamond would do nothing to this monitoring target in this case. It makes no sense to run kdamond when all of monitoring targets have no regions. So add the judgement in 'target_valid()' operation to indicate the target is invalid when 'nr_regions' is zero.
