3 DAMON Maintainer Entry Profile
4 ==============================
6 The DAMON subsystem covers the files that are listed in 'DATA ACCESS MONITOR'
7 section of 'MAINTAINERS' file.
9 The mailing lists for the subsystem are damon@lists.linux.dev and
10 linux-mm@kvack.org. Patches should be made against the mm-unstable tree [1]_
11 whenever possible and posted to the mailing lists.
16 There are multiple Linux trees for DAMON development. Patches under
17 development or testing are queued in damon/next [2]_ by the DAMON maintainer.
18 Sufficiently reviewed patches will be queued in mm-unstable [1]_ by the memory
19 management subsystem maintainer. After more sufficient tests, the patches will
20 be queued in mm-stable [3]_ , and finally pull-requested to the mainline by the
21 memory management subsystem maintainer.
23 Note again the patches for review should be made against the mm-unstable
24 tree[1] whenever possible. damon/next is only for preview of others' works in

30 When making DAMON changes, you should do below.
32 - Build changes related outputs including kernel and documents.
33 - Ensure the builds introduce no new errors or warnings.
34 - Run and ensure no new failures for DAMON selftests [4]_ and kunittests [5]_ .
36 Further doing below and putting the results will be helpful.
38 - Run damon-tests/corr [6]_ for normal changes.
39 - Run damon-tests/perf [7]_ for performance changes.
44 Patches can be sent anytime. Key cycle dates of the mm-unstable[1] and
45 mm-stable[3] trees depend on the memory management subsystem maintainer.
50 The DAMON maintainer does the work on the usual work hour (09:00 to 17:00,
51 Mon-Fri) in PST. The response to patches will occasionally be slow. Do not
52 hesitate to send a ping if you have not heard back within a week of sending a
