Nice catch, thank you! > > Signed-off-by: wang wei <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: SJ Park <[email protected]> This patch is applied to damon/next [1] tree. If this patch is not added to mm.git in short term (~1 week?), I will ask mm.git maintainer (Andrew Morton) to pick this. So, no action from your side is needed for now. If it seems I also forgot doing that or you cannot wait for my action, please feel free to directly ask that to Andrew.
