Better to link to the site itself, or one of the reviews?
For an example of a review (picked pretty much at random) see: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260318151256.2590375-1-andr...
The original patch series corresponding to that is: https://lkml.org/lkml/2026/3/18/1600
Edit: Here's a simpler and better example of a review: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260318110848.2779003-1-liju...
I'm very glad they're not spamming the mailing list.
That is both really useful and a great example of why they should have stopped writing code in C decades ago. So many kernel bugs have arisen from people adding early returns without thinking about the cleanup functions, a problem that many other language platforms handle automatically on scope exit.
Must we do this on every thread about the Linux kernel?

> stopped writing code in C decades ago.
And what were they supposed to use in 2006? Free Pascal? Ada?
Someone suggested C++ and you should see the response from Linus
