Al doesn't like it but everybody else does. His excuses are very
hollow and hypocritical, just take this for example: "Except that it
fixes nothing in nfsd, as we'd already figured out". That's after
discussing extensively how racy the current nfsd code is. And even
then the only acknowledgement I get is that the code has always been
racy. You bet it has been bloody racy, that's what the r-o-bind
patches are supposed to fix.
All through that tread, I got a barrage of nasties thrown at me, and
every time it turned out that I was right. And then just that issue
disappears from the next reply. No "sorry about that, you were
right". Yes, I'm getting tired from Al's attitude towards this thing,
and as long as no better patches from him or anybody else are
forthcoming, or comments actually addressing the _patches_ themselves,
instead of some hypothetical users of these interfaces, I'm just going
to ignore Al's rejections outright.
Now I have much respect for work he has and is doing on the kernel,
make no mistake. But that doesn't make him somebody who can reject
patches on a whim.
Sure, and thanks for looking at the patches.
