For the mentee selection, please work on the following exercise: First, download the kernel git repository and compile the kernel with the x86-defconfig build configuration. There is a file called MAINTAINERS in the root directory of the git repository. Read the introduction at the beginning of the MAINTAINERS file and understand the content in the file and its organisation. Explain in your words: What is stored in the MAINTAINERS file? Now, search for specific maintainer entries; Please answer: Who are the maintainers and reviewers of the following sections? DMA BUFFER SHARING FRAMEWORK DRM DRIVER FOR ARM PL111 CLCD HARMONY SOUND DRIVER IOC3 ETHERNET DRIVER KASAN KFIFO MAILBOX API MAN-PAGES: MANUAL PAGES FOR LINUX -- Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 SQUASHFS FILE SYSTEM THANKO'S RAREMONO AM/FM/SW RADIO RECEIVER USB DRIVER TIPC NETWORK LAYER Please let me know about your answers and always send your responses to the linux-kernel-mentees mailing list. After that first exercise, exercises 2 and 3 will follow.

The MAINTAINERS file can be divided into 3 sections to understand what it is. 1. The first section is providing instructions for people who want to submit patches to the kernel. According to the instructions, thorough testing of the patches should be done and all concerned people should be CCed. Variable names and formatting should be according to the existing coding style. There shouldn’t be any ambiguity as to who owns the patch (employer or employee). 1. The second section is a list of abbreviations used in the file. For example, M for Maintainer, R for Reviewer, S for Status of the code, B for the URI of the web page for bug-related things, F for file directory pattern, L for the Mailing list, T for Tree type and location. 1. The third section is the actual list of Maintainers of the different parts of Kernel distinguished by their areas. This list should be in Alphabetical order. There were no Reviewers mentioned for the sections given in the mail, Maintainers are mentioned below.
