Subject: [PATCH 06/14] mm/damon/sysfs: prohibit multiple physical address space monitoring targets

From: SeongJae Park <sj@...nel.org>

Having multiple targets for physical address space monitoring makes no
sense.  This commit prohibits such a ridiculous DAMON context setup my
making the DAMON context build function to check and return an error for
the case.
