Linux kernel developers do not like being experimented on, we have enough real work to do: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/YH%2FfM%2FTsbmcZzwnX@kroah.com/ …

Follow up removing almost all of these changes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210421130105.1226686-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org/ …

Not all are bad. The one that affects my code was legit. I just doubled checked to make sure.

Same here, but I fully support a wholesale revert given the behavior of that group. Valid fixes can be re-done separately on a one-by-one basis. What a bunch of...

Or have an opt out. If you see patches that are legit, let Greg know, so he can remove them from the wholesale cleansing. But I agree. The default should be removal unless a maintainer tells him otherwise.

I fully support a full rage revert at this point, better to re-fix after the fact rather than delay.

The problem is, the real fixes may never be fixed again. I know I'll probably forget about it if I don't fix it immediately, and the bug will then reappear and not be fixed for several releases.

At least for me, it was a fix for the Sega Dreamcast cdrom driver… So not what I’d consider high priority, the zero users probably don’t care ;-)
