Patch series "mm/damon: remove damon_callback". damon_callback was the only way for communicating with DAMON for contexts running on its worker thread. The interface is flexible and simple. But as DAMON evolves with more features, damon_callback has become somewhat too old. With runtime parameters update, for example, its lack of synchronization support was found to be inconvenient. Arguably it is also not easy to use correctly since the callers should understand when each callback is called, and implication of the return values from the callbacks. To replace it, damon_call() and damos_walk() are introduced. And those replaced a few damon_callback use cases. Some use cases of damon_callback such as parallel or repetitive DAMON internal data reading and additional cleanups cannot simply be replaced by damon_call() and damos_walk(), though. To allow those replaceable, extend damon_call() for parallel and/or repeated callbacks and modify the core/ops layers for additional resources cleanup. With the updates, replace the remaining damon_callback usages and finally say goodbye to damon_callback. This patch (of 14): Calling damon_call() while it is serving for another parallel thread immediately fails with -EBUSY. The caller should call it again, later. Each caller implementing such retry logic would be redundant. Accept parallel damon_call() requests and do the wait instead of the caller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
