And sashiko.dev, the kernel patch AI review service, is now officially announced! https://lore.kernel.org/all/7ia4o6kmpj5s.fsf@castle.c.googlers.com/

Yesterday I learned [1] existence of sashiko.dev, which provides AI reviews for kernel patches, thanks to @monsieuricon 's awesome b4 reivew feature.

Today I added new hkml features [2] for showing the AI review on hkml. It can be used interactively (hkml list -> open menu -> 'handle as patches' -> 'show sashiko.dev review') or from command line (hkml patch sashiko_dev <msgid>).

It was possible only owing to the awesome b4 source code. Huge appreciation to @monsieuricon for b4 development! Of course, great thanks to sashiko.dev developers!

@monsieuricon Today I learned the existence of sashiko.dev. I don't know who made it for what purpose, but it allowed me finding a bug in a DAMON patch. I'm already a fan of it.

I just posted [1] my third LSF/MM/BPF 2026 [2] topic proposal. Hopefully this is my last topic proposal for the conference.

Subject of the proposal is: "DAMON Updates: Tiering, Pagel Level Monitoring and DAMON-X"

DAMON release news for v6.19-rc1..v7.0-rc1 is just posted [1]. To quote the "tl;dr:"

'''
Interesting DAMON development ideas including PMU-based extension, automated
THP application, and new DAMOS quota auto-tune metrics for CXL-based tiered
memory systems have been proposed.

Two DAMON topics for LSF/MM/BPF are proposed.

In the time period, 12 grateful contributors landed 75 commits on the linux
mainline.

I'm honored to get the LSF/MM/BPF invitation [1], and just booked the hotel. Looking forward to meet my friends and upstream community colleagues in Zagreb!

While working on Linux kernel, I wanted to be able to easily see what patches are in what stage on the road to the maintainers and the mainline, and their review status. For the reason, I made some scripts and started backing up the outputs, for the mm subsystem and its sub-subsystems including DAMON. After a few weeks of experimental use, I find it is useful for me at least. So I just shared it publicly [1], namely "mm.git dashboard".

Because the Lunar new year for 2026 is also passed, I shared my DAMON development yearly retrospect for 2025. To quote the conclusion,

"2025 was the busiest year of DAMON development in its history. That was
motivated by automation, observability, and memory tiering needs. Meta,
Micron, Huawei, SK hynix and individuals made the major selfish ;) and grateful
contributions."

drgn 0.1.0 is out now! If you're a crash-utility holdout, try drgn's new crash compatibility mode. There are also big new features for built-in commands, searching memory, mapping code addresses to source locations, and over 80 new helpers. Thanks to everyone who pitched in. See more highlights here: https://drgn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/release_highlights/0.1.0.html and the full release notes here: https://github.com/osandov/drgn/releases/tag/v0.1.0.

Finally posted [1] the DAMON yearly retro for 2024, before the Lunar new year for 2026 in my time zone. ;)

To quote the summary:
"So, 2024 was a year DAMON has more publicly and widely adopted, and extended
itself for more use cases."

mirrors.kernel.org is down because it threw 2 disks in a RAID-6 array and then ground itself to a halt. I'm trying to resuscitate it. Please use mirrors.edge.kernel.org (it's pointing at our only remaining server that is now up, in Amsterdam).

We need more redundancy for these systems. After exiting Equinix, we are reduced to just 2 nodes (and hence, we're now down to 1 until I rebuild the RAID array on the one that's currently offline).

If you can donate us a server with at least 70TB of space and lots of bandwidth, I'd like to hear from you, but it has to come with hosting, as we don't have any physical datacentres any more and must rely on the kindness of strangers to host them.

Two LSF/MM/BPF related DAMON news.

1. I proposed [1] an LSF/MM/BPF session for discussing how production-level data access-aware transparent hugepages can be developed.

2. DAMON has nominated [2] as one of Linux kernel Machine Lerarning Library's demonstration targets.

Dan Carpenter is looking for support for his ongoing bug-fixing work:

https://lwn.net/ml/all/caa37f28-a2e8-4e0a-a9ce-a365ce805e4b@stanley.mountain

He says: "The situation isn't great. The zero day bot can't do cross function analsysis and it only looks at checks with a low false positive rate. We're missing out on a bunch of bugs." *Not* missing those bugs sounds like it would be a good thing.

DAMON user-space tool (damo) will start supporting command line auto completion from next release. The next release will happen tomorrow. You can also try it right now on its development branch [1].
