Daily double-facepalm limit was expended on this reply.

He can't stop it. He will continue throwing mud on others, believing he's the only one who is right and he has to save the world

It's not mud if its true. Most of the stuff coming out of big companies is design by committee crap anyway...

[cb88]

You must be new here. If you screw up or make life difficult for others, Linus is absolutely going to read you the riot act. Always has, always will.

Nothing he did does that though.

Michael l actually the drama isn't on lkml but on fsdevel https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdeve...ernel.org/T/#t

some choice quotes from kent:

Thanks for the link. Seems like the thread has cooled and now they have a tentative agreement to not push things on Saturday.

Thanks for bringing this to light.
This clearly shows that Kent's "arguments" (booing btrfs, booing the rules, booing people, booing old times, trying to drag people down to the mud) is just imbecile and intolerable.

Pls remove the tin foil hat Kent is not being chased by anyone. He just has a history of messing around and already made everyone (especially Linus) kind of edgy. I think that's understandable. And when the problem was pointed out, he started to attack people and processes and the technology/infra instead of saying "ok guys, sorry, I don't have access to BE systems, pls help me out". No, he picked up a fight instead and again.

well kent participated in linux for decades and only recently there seems to be that much drama. so something did change.
btw in this specific case it was linus that made a fight out of a small problem. i am not defending kents behavior. but in this case he didnt start the drama.

anyway it has been solved. the patches are merged and linus backed down.

But, only Kent is being crucified here. And, why?

It's easy to see the true answer: Kent is a single developer, while other Linux devs are backed by large corporations. So, they pick on Kent because his Bcachefs filesystem competes with theirs, and Kent is an easy target to pick.

He didn't push patches with zero testing, stop spreading lies.

your patches had gotten ZERO testing outside your tree.

Literally read the article.

Literally read the article. Even Linus knows it had testing, just not outside his tree.

[PuckPoltergeist]

Should perhaps re-read if that is your conclusion
