| 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 mm-unstable tree [1]_ are queued by the memory |
| management subsystem maintainer. If the patches requires some patches in |
| damon/next tree [2]_ which not yet merged in mm-unstable, please make sure the |
| requirement is clearly specified. |
| |
| 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 PT (Pacific Time). 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. |
