that can be written to and read from the file and their meaning are as below.
- - ``willneed``: Call ``madvise()`` for the region with ``MADV_WILLNEED``
- - ``cold``: Call ``madvise()`` for the region with ``MADV_COLD``
- - ``pageout``: Call ``madvise()`` for the region with ``MADV_PAGEOUT``
- - ``hugepage``: Call ``madvise()`` for the region with ``MADV_HUGEPAGE``
- - ``nohugepage``: Call ``madvise()`` for the region with ``MADV_NOHUGEPAGE``
+Note that support of each action depends on the running DAMON operations set
+`implementation <sysfs_contexts>`.
