Thanks for your interest.

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.

Re: Mining Maintainers Mentorship program - Mentee Selection tasks

[Abhinav Dubey]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2135 bytes --]

I have compiled the latest stable kernel version 5.13.2 with defconfig X86
architecture on ubuntu 20.04 vagrant VM.

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.

ACPI FAN DRIVER

Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>

AF9013 MEDIA DRIVER

Antti Palosaari <crope@iki.fi>
