Hi SeongJae,

Thank you so much for your quick and detailed reply!

I'm happy to send a documentation patch for this. As you suggested, I'll
add the explanation to the "Special-Purpose Access-aware Kernel Modules"
section of Documentation/mm/damon/design.rst.

Additionally, would it be helpful to add a short note with a :ref:
cross-reference in Documentation/admin-guide/mm/damon/lru_sort.rst
pointing to that section? I think this could help sysadmins quickly
understand the reason behind the -EBUSY error without having to dig deep
into the full design document.

I may need a few days to prepare the patch properly, I want to
familiarise myself with the reStructuredText syntax and the current
design.rst. I'll do my best to send it soon. Is that okay?

Thanks again for your guidance and for maintaining DAMON!

Best regards,
Liew Rui Yan
