Patches should be made against the mm-unstable tree [1]_ 11whenever possible and posted to the mailing lists. 12 13SCM Trees 14--------- 15 16There are multiple Linux trees for DAMON development. Patches under 17development or testing are queued in damon/next [2]_ by the DAMON maintainer. 18Sufficiently reviewed patches will be queued in mm-unstable [1]_ by the memory 19management subsystem maintainer. After more sufficient tests, the patches will 20be queued in mm-stable [3]_ , and finally pull-requested to the mainline by the 21memory management subsystem maintainer. 22 23Note again the patches for mm-unstable tree [1]_ are queued by the memory 24management subsystem maintainer. If the patches requires some patches in 25damon/next tree [2]_ which not yet merged in mm-unstable, please make sure the 26requirement is clearly specified. 27 28Submit checklist addendum 29------------------------- 30 31When making DAMON changes, you should do below. 32 33- Build changes related outputs including kernel and documents. 34- Ensure the builds introduce no new errors or warnings. 35- Run and ensure no new failures for DAMON selftests [4]_ and kunittests [5]_ . 36 37Further doing below and putting the results will be helpful. 38 39- Run damon-tests/corr [6]_ for normal changes. 40- Run damon-tests/perf [7]_ for performance changes. 41 42Key cycle dates 43--------------- 44 45Patches can be sent anytime. Key cycle dates of the mm-unstable [1]_ and 46mm-stable [3]_ trees depend on the memory management subsystem maintainer. 47 48Review cadence 49-------------- 50 51The DAMON maintainer does the work on the usual work hour (09:00 to 17:00, 52Mon-Fri) in PT (Pacific Time).
