The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/damon: remove ->before_start of damon_callback has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-damon-remove-before_start-of-damon_callback.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: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/damon: remove ->before_start of damon_callback Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2025 09:59:05 -0800 The function pointer field was added to be used as a place to do some initialization works just before DAMON starts working. However, nobody is using it now. Remove it.
