Amazon's DAMON Might Finally Be Ready For Upstreaming Into The Linux Kernel

Ahh. The "Wait! Why are you running Windows? Linux gives you all the pieces you need to build the desktop of your dreams!" approach that leads so many open-source projects to lose out to proprietary competitors who poured more work into professional out-of-the-box UI/UX R&D and documentation.

I guess the Boss is smart enough to reject redundant code .... KISS

way to monitor how programs use memory?

Like I said, nothing comes free...

And? That's what the kernel devs chose to agree to. you upstream something and they'll refuse to accept contributions elsewhere that change the APIs it depends on without also updating it to stay in sync.

[DL9220]

They probably just want the Linux kernel devs to maintain it for free as internal kernel APIs get rewritten. That's typically the reason you upstream something that's not part of your business's secret sauce.

Try looking up something on Ali and then wonder why Amazon is bombarding you with 'better' offers.... A commercial corporation does never do anything for free.

It's probably that attitude that's responsible for Linux's OOM killer still being garbage. How are you going to fix the problem if you don't have an open-source (i.e. auditable for data exfiltration) way to monitor how programs use memory?

squint squint, I smell evil...

[ssokolow]

Data mining right from the kernel, using YOUR hardware to reduce the load on their datacenters. Bill M$ forgot to think about that...
