Patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: Fix issue in
damon_va_evenly_split_region()". v2.
According to the logic of damon_va_evenly_split_region(), currently
following split case would not meet the expectation:
Suppose DAMON_MIN_REGION=0x1000,
Case: Split [0x0, 0x3000) into 2 pieces, then the result would be
acutually 3 regions:
[0x0, 0x1000), [0x1000, 0x2000), [0x2000, 0x3000)
but NOT the expected 2 regions:
[0x0, 0x1000), [0x1000, 0x3000) !!!
The root cause is that when calculating size of each split piece in
damon_va_evenly_split_region():
`sz_piece = ALIGN_DOWN(sz_orig / nr_pieces, DAMON_MIN_REGION);`
both the dividing and the ALIGN_DOWN may cause loss of precision, then
each time split one piece of size 'sz_piece' from origin 'start' to 'end'
would cause more pieces are split out than expected!!!
To fix it, count for each piece split and make sure no more than
'nr_pieces'. In addition, add above case into damon_test_split_evenly().
And add 'nr_piece == 1' check in damon_va_evenly_split_region() for better
code readability and add a corresponding kunit testcase.

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.
