    mm/damon: rename damon_primitives to damon_operations · f7d911c3

    Patch series "Allow DAMON user code independent of monitoring primitives".
    
    In-kernel DAMON user code is required to configure the monitoring context
    (struct damon_ctx) with proper monitoring primitives (struct
    damon_primitive).  This makes the user code dependent to all supporting
    monitoring primitives.  For example, DAMON debugfs interface depends on
    both DAMON_VADDR and DAMON_PADDR, though some users have interest in only
    one use case.  As more monitoring primitives are introduced, the problem
    will be bigger.
    
    To minimize such unnecessary dependency, this patchset makes monitoring
    primitives can be registered by the implemnting code and later dynamically
    searched and selected by the user code.
    
    In addition to that, this patchset renames monitoring primitives to
    monitoring operations, which is more easy to intuitively understand what
    it means and how it would be structed.
    
    This patch (of 8):
    
    DAMON has a set of callback functions called monitoring primitives and let
    it can be configured with various implementations for easy extension for
    different address spaces and usages.  However, the word 'primitive' is not
    so explicit.  Meanwhile, many other structs resembles similar purpose
    calls themselves 'operations'.  To make the code easier to be understood,
    this commit renames 'damon_primitives' to 'damon_operations' before it is
    too late to rename.
