[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add kernel/fork.c to relevant sections
Posted by Lorenzo Stoakes 7 months ago
Currently kernel/fork.c both contains absolutely key logic relating to a
number of kernel subsystems and also has absolutely no assignment in
MAINTAINERS.

Correct this by placing this file in relevant sections - mm core, exec and
the scheduler so people know who to contact when making changes here.

scripts/get_maintainers.pl can perfectly well handle a file being in
multiple sections, so this functions correctly.

Intent is that we keep putting changes to kernel/fork.c through Andrew's
tree.
