Patch series "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface". DAMON debugfs interface was the only user interface of DAMON at the beginning[1]. However, it turned out the interface would be not good enough for long-term flexibility and stability. In Feb 2022[2], we therefore introduced DAMON sysfs interface as an alternative user interface that aims long-term flexibility and stability. With its introduction, DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be deprecated in near future. In Feb 2023[3], we announced the official deprecation of DAMON debugfs interface. In Jan 2024[4], we further made the deprecation difficult to be ignored. In Oct 2024[5], we posted an RFC version of this patch series as the last notice. And as of this writing, no problem or concerns about the removal plan have reported. Apparently users are already moved to the alternative, or made good plans for the change. Remove the DAMON debugfs interface code from the tree. Given the past timeline and the absence of reported problems or concerns, it is safe enough to be done.

Read the cover letter of this patch sereis for more details. Remove DAMON debugfs interface usage documentation and references to it from translations, to avoid confusing users with documents for already removed things.

README
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.
