The next instalment of Linus vs. Kent – and Linus seems to be on the edge:

"[…] I'm contemplating just removing entirely from the [ ] mainline tree. Because you show again and again that you have no interest in trying to make mainline work. […]"

For the full discussion, start here: lore.kernel.org/all/cphtxla2se (the quote is from one of the later mails from Linus).

lore.kernel.org[GIT PULL] bcachefs fixes for 6.12-rc2

@kernellogger that’s sad, I use bcache (not fs) on my desktop and like it.

@vmiheer @kernellogger you'll be fine using that as it's already maintained by others for years, after Kent abandoned it for the new toy.
@kdave @vbabka @kernellogger @vmiheer lol incredible. @axboe you went hard... and you know, understandably so...

The irony is quite something though obviously... and what he does now (unposted, _unreviewed_ stuff let alone reviewed by hch) during merge window loll not to mention bringing in NACKED changes to CORE MM, then getting abusive in the thread on reverting his change (!!!!)
Jens Axboe

@ljs Having macros with hidden returns, not a good idea. And yeah then he threw a fit. People thinking that the drama aspect is new or unexpected, it's really not.

@axboe I don't know who thinks that drama stuff is new tbh.

And yes agreed, macros with hidden returns sounds bloody horrible
@axboe one thing with Kent is he goes through modes of pretending to be reasonable or contrite and people _do_ fall for that often I see.

And other simply avoid him which prevents proper review of his stuff, because who the fuck wants to deal with that?

I know the alloc profiling was like that in mm...
