Patch series "mm/damon/schemes: Extend stats for better online analysis and tuning". To help online access pattern analysis and tuning of DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS), DAMOS provides simple statistics for each scheme. Introduction of DAMOS time/space quota further made the tuning easier by making the risk management easier. However, that also made understanding of the working schemes a little bit more difficult. For an example, progress of a given scheme can now be throttled by not only the aggressiveness of the target access pattern, but also the time/space quotas. So, when a scheme is showing unexpectedly slow progress, it's difficult to know by what the progress of the scheme is throttled, with currently provided statistics. This patchset extends the statistics to contain some metrics that can be helpful for such online schemes analysis and tuning (patches 1-2), exports those to users (patches 3 and 5), and add documents (patches 4 and 6). This patch (of 6): DAMON-based operation schemes (DAMOS) stats provide only the number and the amount of regions that the action of the scheme has tried to be applied. Because the action could be failed for some reasons, the currently provided information is sometimes not useful or convenient enough for schemes profiling and tuning. To improve this situation, this commit extends the DAMOS stats to provide the number and the amount of regions that the action has successfully applied.

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 Restructured Text 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.
