.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 DAMON Maintainer Entry Profile ============================== The DAMON subsystem covers the files that are listed in 'DATA ACCESS MONITOR' section of 'MAINTAINERS' file. The mailing lists for the subsystem are damon@lists.linux.dev and linux-mm@kvack.org. Patches should be made against the mm-unstable tree [1]_ whenever possible and posted to the mailing lists. SCM Trees --------- There are multiple Linux trees for DAMON development. Patches under development or testing are queued in damon/next [2]_ by the DAMON maintainer. Sufficiently reviewed patches will be queued in mm-unstable [1]_ by the memory management subsystem maintainer. After more sufficient tests, the patches will be queued in mm-stable [3]_ , and finally pull-requested to the mainline by the memory management subsystem maintainer. Note again the patches for review should be made against the mm-unstable tree[1] whenever possible. damon/next is only for preview of others' works in progress. Submit checklist addendum ------------------------- When making DAMON changes, you should do below. - Build changes related outputs including kernel and documents. - Ensure the builds introduce no new errors or warnings. - Run and ensure no new failures for DAMON selftests [4]_ and kunittests [5]_ . Further doing below and putting the results will be helpful. - Run damon-tests/corr [6]_ for normal changes. - Run damon-tests/perf [7]_ for performance changes. Key cycle dates --------------- Patches can be sent anytime. Key cycle dates of the mm-unstable[1] and mm-stable[3] trees depend on the memory management subsystem maintainer. Review cadence -------------- The DAMON maintainer does the work on the usual work hour (09:00 to 17:00, Mon-Fri) in PST. The response to patches will occasionally be slow. Do not hesitate to send a ping if you have not heard back within a week of sending a patch. .. [1] https://git.kernel.org/akpm/mm/h/mm-unstable .. [2] https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/damon/next ..
