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. + + +..
