Subject: [RFC PATCH 9/9] Docs/mm/damon/design: clarify bp is basis point
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 13:08:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912200814.145612-10-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912200814.145612-1-sj@kernel.org>

DAMON design document uses "bp" for "basis point" in multiple places.
Because it is not clearly mentioned, it is difficult to understand what
"bp" stands for.  Add the clarification.

Reported-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/107dc6ba-697e-4b25-ba3e-8ce2499cac9a@infradead.org
Signed-off-by: SJ Park <sj@kernel.org>
