The DAMON subsystem covers the files that are listed in 'DATA ACCESS MONITOR' section of 'MAINTAINERS' file.
The mailing lists for the subsystem are [email protected] and [email protected]. Patches should be made against the mm-unstable tree [1]_ whenever possible and posted to the mailing lists.
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.
When making DAMON changes, you should do below.
Further doing below and putting the results will be helpful.
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.
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.
