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.
