2023-08-30 17:31:07 +02:00
|
|
|
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.
|
2023-10-24 12:59:35 +02:00
|
|
|
Sufficiently reviewed patches will be queued in mm-unstable [1]_ by the memory
|
2023-08-30 17:31:07 +02:00
|
|
|
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.

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.

|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
