Subject: [PATCH 05/11] Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: explain the format of damon_aggregate tracepoint
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2023 02:29:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230907022929.91361-6-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230907022929.91361-1-sj@kernel.org>
The example of the section for damon_aggregated tracepoint is not
explaining how the output looks like, and how it can be interpreted.
Add it.
