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.

Just posted my second LSF/MM/BPF topic proposal [1] for per-CPUs/threads/reads/writes access monitoring extension of DAMON. Please read my blog post [2] if you are interested in more contexts of the extension project.

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.

So @lwn is currently under the heaviest scraper attack seen yet. It is a DDOS attack involving tens of thousands of addresses, and that is affecting the responsiveness of the site, unfortunately.
There are many things I would like to do with my time. Defending LWN from AI shitheads is rather far from the top of that list. I *really* don't want to put obstacles between LWN and its readers, but it may come to that.
(Another grumpy day, sorry)

""News: this is my last linux-next release. Mark should start doing these soon."" – Stephen Rothwell in https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/20260115161417.5a82a41c@canb.auug.org.au/
Reminder, Stephen announced that he would be stepping down a few weeks ago[1]]
Many many thanks, Stephen, for all your work over nearly 18 years[2], much much appreciated!
And thanks @broonie for picking up this thankless task!

So somebody took a couple of LWN's recent conference articles, threw them into an LLM blender with some other stuff, and produced ... this ...
https://www.webpronews.com/linux-kernels-future-tab-integrates-rust-navigates-ai-boosts-collaboration/
Google News propagates that stuff - something they have long refused to do with LWN's original material. But somehow we're supposed to continue to exist to feed material into that machine?
Sorry, having a grumpy day.
