There's been some Friday night kernel drama on the Linux kernel mailing list... Linus Torvalds has expressed regrets for merging the Bcachefs file-system and an ensuing back-and-forth between the file-system maintainer.
On Friday a set of fixes were submitted for merging into the current Linux 6.11 cycle. There were little fixes plus two big "fixes" around an rhashtable conversion and a new data structure for managing free lists in the BTree key cache. That later one eliminates the BTree key cache lock and avoids some locking contention that can appear in some multi-threaded workloads.
But this "fixes" pull request touches more than one thousand lines of code and we're now more than half-way through the Linux 6.11 cycle. This is far from the first time that big "fixes" pulls for Bcachefs have been submitted post merge window and not the first time that it's not strictly bug fixes but also heavier more feature-like additions being made via fixes pull requests. Linus Torvalds had enough and responded to the pull request.
This is a poor posture from Kent
It's fine to have something buggy but pissing off Linus Torvalds is probably not the best idea, perhaps a bit of introspection might be the best course of action before sending another hasty message
From the wise words of Jack Stauber:
But it feels better to check than to reflect~
I thought Linux represents freedom but you sound like it’s a tyranny.
This guy is free to do all the cowboy shit he wants in his own fork of the kernel. The problem is that he's trying to force his way with the main one without proper care for how much a small mistake of his could damage.
