Promote Harry Yoo from reviewer to maintainer. Harry's been involved in
slab development for multiple years now and doing a great job.
Add Hao Li as a new reviewer. Hao has been doing very useful reviews for
a while now, so make it official and ensure the Cc's.

Thanks, Vlastimil. I really appreciate the trust! Also, thank you for the patient and constructive feedback and for taking the time to engage with newer contributors like me on-list. I especially appreciate you proactively Cc'ing me on relevant slab threads (even when I wasn't on the original Cc). It helped me stay in the loop and get involved more deeply. Happy to help with slab reviews going forward. And thanks, Harry, for the kind words. I really appreciate the encouragement. You were the first to Cc me on your slab patches and actively invite my input, which really helped me feel involved and start contributing more. I've learned a lot from our collaboration and look forward to continuing to work together. Thanks also to Lorenzo for the congratulations.

Happy to help with slab reviews going forward. You're welcome! When you started replying on slab patches with great feedback initially, it was only natural to Cc you on others :) Cheers!

Hao's been providing constructive and helpful feedback (while being friendly!), and I look forward to continuing to work with him. > Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE) <vbabka@kernel.org> > --- Acked-by: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com> > MAINTAINERS | 3 ++- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS > index 61bf550fd37c..5f3cc4193a8e 100644 > --- a/MAINTAINERS > +++ b/MAINTAINERS > @@ -24350,11 +24350,12 @@ F: drivers/nvmem/layouts/sl28vpd.c > > SLAB ALLOCATOR > M: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@kernel.org> > +M: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com> > M: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> > +R: Hao Li <hao.li@linux.dev> > R: Christoph Lameter <cl@gentwo.org> > R: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> > R: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> > -R: Harry Yoo <harry.yoo@oracle.com> > L: linux-mm@kvack.org > S: Maintained > T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab.git > -- > 2.53.0 -- Cheers, Harry / Hyeonggon

I'd also like to thank Vlastimil, who has given me kind and constructive feedback ever since I first started contributing to the kernel, five years ago. Back in 2021, I was a curious computer science undergrad with little experience in kernel development, who decided to do something fun in the kernel and sent a few patches to the slab subsystem. The first few interactions with Vlastimil, who was generous with his feedback, motivated me to keep contributing to the kernel as a hobby. Through the discussions and collaboration we've had, I feel I've grown into a better engineer. I'm glad that this growth has allowed me to give back to the community as a contributor and now as a maintainer. And this is all thanks to you, Vlastimil ;) -- Cheers, Harry / Hyeonggon

It was apparent from the beginning you'd be a great contributor :) Cheers!
