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?

AMD IOMMU (AMD-VI)
DRIVER CORE, KOBJECTS, DEBUGFS AND SYSFS
DRM DRIVERS
FUTEX SUBSYSTEM
I2C SUBSYSTEM
JAILHOUSE HYPERVISOR INTERFACE
KCOV
KCSAN
LINUX KERNEL MEMORY CONSISTENCY MODEL (LKMM)
NAND FLASH SUBSYSTEM
THE REST

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.

Lukas
