@gregkh I'll take a whisky over a box of chocolates anyway ;-)

@gregkh Actually I can buy my own, what I'd really like is for us to kill nommu. It has zero reason to exist, and it's largely untested garbage.

Forget the booze, that's what I want.

@axboe @gregkh something @ljs would most likely agree with 🙂 cc @vbabka

@Aissen @gregkh @ljs @vbabka As any sane person should! Honestly, I'm hope this will be the silver lining to the slew of mostly garbage LLM bug reports - yank the old and untested code from the kernel, not just nommu.

bittersweet because people report bugs on features they don't use rather than fixing them and stepping up to help?

@hyeyoo @ljs @vbabka @gregkh @Aissen That's not bittersweet, that's just laziness. So much easier to run LLMs on code and report issues they often don't even understand, than it is to write a patch.These people don't care about the code, that's not why they are reporting the issues.

@axboe @ljs @vbabka @gregkh @Aissen

it's really sad that people do that.
what do these people care then?

@hyeyoo @ljs @vbabka @gregkh @Aissen "Look I found a bug, how great am I"

@axboe @ljs @vbabka @gregkh @Aissen

oh geez, that's not adding much value to the project :/
