Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Docs/mm/damon/index: mention DAMOS on the intro
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2023 19:03:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230110190400.119388-4-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230110190400.119388-1-sj@kernel.org>

What DAMON aims to do is not only access monitoring but efficient and
effective access-aware system operations.  And DAMon-based Operation
Schemes (DAMOS) is the important feature of DAMON for the goal.  Make
the intro of DAMON documentation to emphasize the goal and mention
DAMOS.
