This is something new, atop of the PS5 streaming from an SSD to the GPU we have Zuckerbook wanting to stream from the NIC to the GPU for machine learning. Also more Linux drama.

nic-gpu already a big thing on the large scale ml training; but its all nvidia and rdma so its not surprising some fber is reinventing it poorly and inadvertently loving everyone else playing games with export symbols

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

so not at all unreasonable for an implementation of a sophisticated filesystem, which should be committed in a branch, reviewed over time by filesystem experts, and refactored to match the other implementations before being accepted into mainline

it’s not like it should be a difficult process for professional system software developers

apparently kernel devs are so bad at their jobs they cant even review 10k loc for a robust filesystem implementation

no wonder all new development happens in weird band-aids and they keep making syscalls to fix the mistakes of the ones added just last year because code has to be submitted in baby portion sizes

like the next two responses in the mailing list that actually talk like humans about what the next steps to bring it to review would be and not reflexively looking to denigrate people and their work

if someone on my team responded to someone that way they'd be apologizing and paired with someone who can speak constructively and without hostility until they got their act together or got the boot. life is too short for dicks

This is a lovely response and I don't know why any one would defend it. It takes no extra effort to have some basic level of courtesy and professionallism, especially when someone is trying to contribute to your project.

But this is certainly something, I'd be pretty annoyed if a PR like this dropped on my lap without any warning. Maybe should have included in the email that you acknowledge the amount of work involved in reviewing this and what the process what be/how to make it easier.

The first patch revision in the AMD GPU series was iirc absolutely monstrous and was also a huge turd. It took over a year and a huge effort to get the drivers into the kernel.

idk why there needs to be any bashful groveling over it. the subject line "[PATCH] fs: NTFS read-write driver GPL implementation" already promises a giant chunk of code. ntfs is well known to be a complex fs, any reasonably featured implementation isn't going to be a small patch

also it's not even a PR, it's a gift and nobody is obligated to take it. even if paragon doesn't want to assist in the process of integrating it into a mainline status kernel driver, it's cool and good that they provided it, imo

does anyone know offhand how the driver interfaces for sound devices changed at around 5.3? Sometime late last year or early this year?

I found a sound driver for an rpi accessory that loads via dkms and apparently it worked in Nov 2019 but it doesn't compile today. I'll probably rewrite the driver but I'm having trouble finding any modern documentation about the new framework and how it differs from the old one.

Frankly, I expect to be zero documentation but it doesn't hurt to hope. sometimes.
