[PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: add MM MISC section, add missing files to MISC and CORE

[PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: add MM MISC section, add missing files to MISC and CORE

[Lorenzo Stoakes]

Add a MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC section to contain files that are not described
by other sections, moving all but the catch-all mm/ and tools/mm/ from MEMORY
MANAGEMENT to MEMORY MANAGEMENT - CORE and MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC as
appropriate.

In both sections add remaining missing files. At this point, with the other
recent MAINTAINERS changes, this should now mean that every memory
management-related file has a section and assigned maintainers/reviewers.

Finally, we copy across the maintainers/reviewers from MEMORY MANAGEMENT -
CORE to MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC, as it seems the two are sufficiently
related for this to be sensible.

v2:
* Propagate ack (thanks Mike!)
* Retain MEMORY MANAGEMENT section to contain the global mm/ and tools/mm/
  directories and remove from MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MISC section, I misunderstood
  how these catch-alls would work. As reported by Vlastimil.
* Update cover letter and subject to reflect the above.

v1:

Curious: do we need the catch-all because of untracked files, or because 
of future files?

That is already under "MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MEMORY POLICY AND MIGRATION"

That will be MEMORY_HOTPLUG, right?

This is already in the KSM section.

Kind-of a catch-all as well.

Another thought: mmu_notifier.c and ptdump. have the "core" vibe to them.

Untracked was the intent, future files should be added to MAINTAINERS
(maybe I need to write a script for this somewhere...).

I guess the intent was so Andrew gets pinged on everything whether tracked
elsewhere or not?

Ack will send a fix-patch.

The ordering of these patches and sending all separate has made this fun :)
I felt best way, so one update with issues doesn't hold up others.

I am _very keen_ to get this done and dusted and never look at MAINTAINERS
again :P

Yeah but far smaller and we really should be pinged on these IMO. Probably
we need more work to add tests to relevant sections.

MISC is sort of a 'everything else' and we can update this over time.

I rather get us to the point where _everything_ or more-or-less
_everything_ is in sections and then iteratively fix up as we go rather
than leave something out.

You could take out this one too as it's going to SLAB via my tree?

You said you weren't taking this, I assumed in general...

https://lore.kernel.org/all/a3f60194-3498-4dce-b0f0-e16e706f66ee@suse.cz/

...but from off list now I see you meant you were adding but not removing.


Andrew - if it's easy could you drop "include/linux/mempool.h" from here.

If not it's not a big deal to have this in both sections briefly... :)

Thanks, Lorenzo
