Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm/damon/dbgfs: print DAMON debugfs interface deprecation message

DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be deprecated after >v5.15 LTS
kernel is released. And, v6.1.y has announced to be an LTS[1].

Though the announcement was there for a while, some people might not
noticed that so far. Also, some users could depend on it and have
problems at movng to the alternative (DAMON sysfs interface).

For such cases, warn DAMON debugfs interface deprecation with contacts
to ask helps when any DAMON debugfs interface file is opened.

Line length of 234 is a bit over the limit.
I think it would be OK to split it at the end of the first sentence, like:

pr_warn_once("DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated, so users should move to the sysfs interface (DAMON_SYSFS).\n");
pr_warn_once("If you depend on this and cannot move, please report your usecase to [email protected] and [email protected].\n");

or would that [2 pr_warn_once() calls] not work for some reason?

Or even:

pr_warn_once(
"DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated, so users should move to the sysfs interface (DAMON_SYSFS).\n");
pr_warn_once(
"If you depend on this and cannot move, please report your usecase to [email protected] and [email protected].\n");

although some people might gag at that one.

Thank you for your opinion.

I considered that, but I was worrying if some other messages come between those
two separated messages.

What do you think about breaking the string like below? I first tried to do so
like memcg hierarchy[1], but ended up to this version because of checkpatch.pl
outputs[2]. However, if others doesn't care, I think this is ok.

pr_warn_once("DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated, "
"so users should move DAMON_SYSFS. If you depend on this "
"and cannot move, please report your usecase to "
"[email protected] and [email protected].\n");

If breaking user-visible string is not ok, maybe we could make it as short as
your above example.

pr_warn_once("DAMON_DBGFS is deprecated; please contact to [email protected] and [email protected] if you depend on it.\n");

May I ask your opinion?

It's OK to ignore checkpatch sometimes. :)

I'm OK with either one of these, but I prefer your first example over the second one.
