DAMON Maintainer Entry Profile
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
The DAMON subsystem covers the files that 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.
|
|
Suffieicntly 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
