From 3372b6631b52b3442a1e3fe379bacc433bd7eec8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 08:43:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add drivers/char/mem.c to mm misc, memory mapping sections This file is a 'special' driver that implements /dev/zero and /dev/mem among other things. As such it makes sense for mm to be cc'd on mails and to have some say in how things are changed there, so add it to the mm misc section. Uniquely, it provides the 'old way' of obtaining an anonymous mapping - MAP_PRIVATE of /dev/zero - so is directly tied to memory mapping, therefore also add it to the memory mapping section. scripts/get_maintainer.pl copes perfectly fine with files in multiple sections so everything should work correctly.
