Subject: Docs/mm/damon/maintainer-profile: allow posting patches based on damon/next tree
Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 11:03:18 -0700
The document mentions any patches for review should based on mm-unstable
instead of damon/next. It should be the recommended process, but
sometimes patches based on damon/next could be posted for some reasons.
Actually, the DAMON-based tiered memory management patchset[1] was written
on top of 'young page' DAMOS filter patchset, which was in damon/next tree
as of the writing.
Allow such case and just ask such things to be clearly specified.
