Patch series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions".
This patch series fix a minor issue in a program for DAMON selftest, and
implement new functionality selftests for DAMOS tried regions and
{min,max}_nr_regions. The test for max_nr_regions also test the recovery
from online tuning-caused limit violation, which was fixed by a previous
patch [1] titled "mm/damon/core: merge regions aggressively when
max_nr_regions is unmet".
The first patch fixes a minor problem in the articial memory access
pattern generator for tests. Following 3 patches (2-4) implement schemes
tried regions test. Then a couple of patches (5-6) implementing static
setup based {min,max}_nr_regions functionality test follows. Final two
patches (7-8) implement dynamic max_nr_regions update test.

This patch (of 8):
'access_memory' is an artificial memory access pattern generator for DAMON
tests. It creates and accesses memory regions that the user specified the
number and size via the command line. However, real access part of the
program ignores the user-specified size of each region. Instead, it uses
a hard-coded value, 10 MiB. Fix it to use user-defined size.
Note that all existing 'access_memory' users are setting the region size
as 10 MiB. Hence no real problem has happened so far.

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.
