This confused[1] a person.  Technically speaking, DAMOS_STAT action is already
supported on vaddr.  The lack of support is ops level DAMOS filters combined
with DAMOS_STAT action, and this patchset is adding the support.  Could you
please rephrase the subject and the above paragraph?  For example,

    mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS filters

    Extend DAMOS_STAT handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual address
    spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters.

Seems you missed my comments[2] on your v2 cover letter.  Could you please take
a look?

Ditto.  Please check my comments[2] on your v2 cover letter.

Again, please check my comments[2] on your v2 cover letter.
