@monsieuricon There was a guy who once called Linux communism, so obviously not that far away. What was the guy's job? Some big American company, right?

Today's misinformation provided by Google Search's "AI Overview" (which cannot be disabled, apparently):
"All EU member states are parties to the Rome Statute, except for Turkey."
(I am not complaining that the AI missed today's withdrawal of Hungary)

@Conan_Kudo @geert Plus, your tags given to cover letters suggest - following your logic - that you only reviewed cover letter and you did not read the patches at all.

@Conan_Kudo Well, your opinion here is contradictory to Linux kernel process. It's clear here:
> By offering my Reviewed-by: tag, I state that:
> (a) I have carried out a technical review of this patch to
> evaluate its appropriateness and readiness for inclusion into
> the mainline kernel.
Nowhere, nowhere in the Linux kernel process is any mention that the tag placement matters and suggesting that it does not only contradicts practice of all reviewers and maintainers but it makes no sense. It just creates noise and additional effort on receivers of your email.

@Conan_Kudo @geert Review under commit msg is the review of everything. Don't ask people to scroll through hundreds of lines just to figure out that they do not need to even scroll! (because b4 will collect the tag, but they had to be sure not to miss any feedback).
As I said, this is is disrespectful to me, this is wasting my time. The way to recover my time is to just ignore such emails.

2024 was a record-breaking year for forest fires in Ukraine.
This is another devastating consequence of Russia’s illegal invasion.
Nearly one million hectares were burnt in the country – more than twice the area burned in the EU in the same period.
The EU is committed to helping Ukrainians strengthen their rescue and fire services by providing them with machinery and protective equipment.
With Ukraine – and its brave firefighters – unflinchingly.

I sent a simple, yet not the shortest, DT bindings patch for the Linux kernel. I got five review tags in response, for which I thank you, however three (60%) of them where in format:
> My commit msg...
> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@linaro.org>
Reviewed-by: Mr. Foo
> here goes
> my ...
> entire patch
> for su knows how long.
> Really long!
I was complaining about this on the lists already. I am not going to, heh, no one should be to, scroll through entire message to check whether there was something after that Reviewed-by tag. Or after comment.
Knowing that it is trivial to remove unneeded context (see below), I find that just disrespectful to me and my time.
I am going to ignore EVERYTHING from something which looks like end of message. if you put there something, your problem.
E.g. if one uses mutt and vim - that's part of your alias:
```
nmap <silent> <leader>A :.,$d<CR>A<CR><CR>Acked-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org><CR><CR>Best regards,<CR>Krzysztof<CR><ESC>
```

And at least two patches are so obviously wrong and so obviously not compiled, that it is actually reassuring. Why? Because it cannot be a try of sneaking faulty patches into the kernel (see UMN.edu and their hypocrite commits). It's just to plain junk code, too obvious for real attack:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250313160959132rMOoPpNjSNTlB-E6rMOuj@zte.com.cn/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250313144430115dzzemB3yO4jZvI29ZZebY@zte.com.cn/
Although, exhaustion of resources is also sort of an attack...

ZTE or zte.com.cn apparently decided to flood kernel with extremely poor quality, automated patches. Reminds me previous flood from Vivo.com. Some of the patches were never built and clearly do not compile. Some are looking correct, but are wrong if you open the context of the file (e.g. using sysfs_emit in procfs or some other code). None of the review feedbacks were responded to, they just keep sending the code, sometimes 5 same patches without noticeable changes or without changelog.
And I bet somewhere within this flood of automation-generated stuff, is actual fix or actual bug pretending to be a fix but introducing a vulnerability.

When Trump says that he can apply economic pressure on Putin, he's lying. He has very few levers that haven't already been pushed. Using his own analogy, Trump acts like he has an ace up his sleeve, but he only has a pair of jokers. The only sure way to apply pressure on Putin is to give Ukraine all they need to win on the battlefield.

PSA: please don't use git.kernel.org directly for your CI needs. It is not viable for us to provide enough capacity to withstand dozens of CI nodes all trying to clone linux.git at the same time for multiple CI farms. You *will* get ip-blocked. Please set up a local mirror and hit that instead.

if it walks like a russian agent and quacks like a russian agent, then it probably doesn't matter whether it really is a russian agent or not

The leader of the free world right now is Zelenskyy.
While Trump fumes at home Zelenskyy is becoming an icon.

Not only new Linux kernel releases count! Look at LWN summary of v4.19-stable life and how many fixes that kernel received:
https://lwn.net/Articles/1000933/
Appearing on top-bugfix contributors list for v4.19.x series is a pleasant reminder that my contributions might actually help some real users on real products.
