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 review should be made against the mm-unstable 24tree[1] whenever possible. damon/next is only for preview of others' works in 25progress. 26 27Submit checklist addendum 28------------------------- 29 30When making DAMON changes, you should do below. 31 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]_ . 35 36Further doing below and putting the results will be helpful. 37 38- Run damon-tests/corr [6]_ for normal changes. 39- Run damon-tests/perf [7]_ for performance changes. 40 41Key cycle dates 42--------------- 43 44Patches can be sent anytime. Key cycle dates of the mm-unstable[1] and 45mm-stable[3] trees depend on the memory management subsystem maintainer. 46 47Review cadence 48-------------- 49 50The DAMON maintainer does the work on the usual work hour (09:00 to 17:00, 51Mon-Fri) in PST.
