The commit is indeed the last one which touched the code, but the bug was
introduced earlier than that, by commit a61ea561c871 ("mm/damon/sysfs: link
DAMON for virtual address spaces monitoring").

Also, let's add one space before the commit hash, then only 12 characters for
the hash, and then one line summary of the commit[1], like below.

Fixes: a61ea561c871 ("mm/damon/sysfs: link DAMON for virtual address spaces monitoring")

Also, putting the change log of the patch here would be a good practice.

Other than the very minor things,

Reviewed-by: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>


As the changes I'm requesting are very minor, I will revise and post a new
version of this patch on my own.


Thanks,
SJ
