Working for months on your first truly major change in the kernel only for somebody to not only race you but race you with what is very likely to be AI generated code is deeply depressing and demotivating.

And then for the community to not only not back me but push against me... :(

This is about the most demotivating thing that has happened to me in kernel development so far.

to think I burned myself out to do the LSF topic on this. I needn't have bothered?

@ljs it's really frustrating. submitting a huge, invasive change without checking in first makes the community feel a bit like a horse race...

@haoli I hope common sense prevails and races are resolved sensibly.
