Leading the Linux Kernel team inside Linaro Consumer Group, focussed on - Upstreaming Android Kernel bits in both directions - towards AOSP in form of fixes and features from mainline kernels, and towards mainline kernel in form of new features added from Android kernel.- Project Treble support- patch submission towards LTS kernels- Helping our members towards optimizing and improving their Android experience, focussing on kernel bits.- Improving Linux kernel testing quality, coverage and reliability.

Focusing energies on the Unified Memory Management work, I lead the team tasked with getting memory management frameworks in sync between Android and mainline kernel. This included work on ION replacement efforts (cenalloc), and focus on dma-buf updates.

Working fulltime with Linaro since March 2013; was earlier assinged from TI with Linaro's Graphics Working Group since May 2011. I have been an instrumental part of the "Unified Memory Management (UMM) in Linux" effort @ Linaro.- Wrote the dma-buf buffer sharing framework for Linux[1].- *Maintainer* of the dma-buf buffer sharing framework in mainline.- dma-buf is the first mainlined framework from Linaro, which is generic enough to be applicable not only on ARM / graphics platforms, but for sharing buffers between any linux devices / subsystems.[1]: Read more about dma_buf buffer sharing framework here: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/dma-buf-sharing.txt
