Subject: mm/damon/core: hide private damon_region fields
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 07:35:34 -0700

Patch series "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields".

DAMON core structs hide core-private fields using 'private:' comment tags.
It is incomplete and inconsistent.  The linked list heads in a few
structs, for example, are intended to be hidden, and always be used using
the wrapper macros like damon_for_each_region().  But those were
mistakenly marked as non-private.  A few core layer-only fields were also
mistakenly added as non-private.

This only encourages callers to directly use the private fields.  It is
easy to make mistakes, and difficult to control.  Mark all such DAMON core
struct fields as private.

Patches 1-8 mark the private fields for damon_region, damon_target,
damos_quota_goal, damos_quota, damos_filter, damos, damon_filter and
damon_probe, respectively.  Patch 9 removes DAMON_SYSFS's direct access to
core-private field, damon_ctx->ops.  Finally patch 10 mark the private
fields for damon_ctx.


This patch (of 10):

damon_region->list is intended to be used by only the DAMON core layer. 
But it is mistakenly not marked as private.  Hide it from the callers by
marking it private.
