Linux Kernel Github Is Absolutely Chaotic

If you've ever been to the Linux kernel github you would know it's an absolutely chaotic place but if not you're in for an absolute ride as I show off some of my favourite issues.

I work on the linux kernel for my company. When we make a change to the kernel internally we create a commit to our kernel tree, perform "git format-patch HEAD^..HEAD" then we check the patch into another repo before posting it for code review from there. So, the code reviews simply the patch itself! Blows many young developers minds. Making a change for the first time involves first building the kernel tree, which is a git checkout from upstream of a specific tag & then a script that applies all our internal patches.

Not saying that the protocol itself is inherently insecure and you can spoof the address.

[@asicdathens]

Most of the kernel devs use monstrosities like Vim and nano to write code. These tools were good when people had CRT text terminals on serial port. The excuse why they still use these tools is "shortcuts" and similar BS. These people grew with mailing lists, IRC and newsgroups. I used these in the 90's when I had a slow modem but not anymore.

[@int32_]

E-mail is one of the few protocols that is supported basically by everything and is decentralized. This means you're not tied to a single provider/client. It can also handle a lot of traffic efficiently. I think a more user friendly front end for sending patches would be nice, but it could still be using e-mail in the back end.

It could break if there are two identifiers wich are only different in yes and no

[@Slada1]

If string length is hardcoded to the exact length, it will break

[@MetroidChild]

If it had been "yes" to "nop" and "no" to "ye" there wouldn't be any string length issues, but even if you check for delimiters on either side it could still mess up plaintext files that are supposed to be parsed.

It might have gotten slightly better when they embedded vscode or whatever they're using but I don't even care because web editors are slow.

I was fairly new in my company and there was a device which we patched, so I thought to myself: why not push it upstream?

I would've gotten back to it, but I didn't know how to freaking create a patch of a patch. I do know now, but back then I just gave up. I remember thinking "what the hell is this workflow?!" - I've already gotten used to the merge request workflow we used and still use in the company via GitLab. Granted the device was just some RTC that probably nobody even uses nowadays, but either way, that one thing made me not push anything upstream anymore, at least to the kernel project.

A mailing list _is_ a communication tool. It is basically a list of email addresses that when anyone sends an email to, the email is distributed to all of them. The process has been working for decades, there is not yet any gnarling issue that makes it necessary to change. Many other long-running projects still use them also.

[@DavidAlsh]

@@leduyquang753 I guess that makes sense.

[@VanisherXP]

I think Linus is a bit stuck in the past with the whole mailing list thing. This is terrible for contribution history and his reasons like "not having a valid email" are inane. I could create a patch, mail them then delete the email and now the replies are also to an existent email. Emails are not valid proof of identity or less anonymous, any more than Github accounts are. It's up to the user how they want to get notifications, so if someone wants to just get notified with the Github web interface but not by email, that shouldn't be a problem to contribute. Besides, the whole thing reeks of bitterness towards Microsoft. If he really doesn't want to handle pull requests there he can just turn pull-requests off in the repository options, just like he did for the issue tracker. Seems like it's done on purpose to feed drama and leave bitter comments. A readme with contributing instructions in the repo main page would be much more obvious than a bot response after you've already sent a PR.

Nope, github sucks. It doesn't even work at this scale since the UI just isn't made for it. Also it's owned by microsoft. It would be a bad idea to give all control over Linux to microsoft. Speaking of 20 years old tech stacks, the majority of the kernel is written in C, a "boomer" language from the 70's. Despite being so old, it has stood the test of time and it is still one of the best languages for kernel development today. This is also the case for other development tools, like email and git. As Terry Davis said: "An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity" and plain text email mailing list are a hella lot simpler than that javascript web app monster github.

Does anybody know about the amd-pstate CPU Performance Scaling Driver inside the Ubuntu 23.10 Kernel 6.5. How can i customize default max CPU and iGPU min/max clock speeds on AC/DC? It seems to dominate over the auto-cpufreq.

You actually SAID "would of" out loud? 😢

My respect for Torvalds just plummeted. To call people morons for trying to contribute to his project is unacceptable conduct. I get it that he gets flooded with PR's, messages etc. but he don't have to be a jerk about it. Behaviour like this makes people shy away from contributing to open-source. I thought better of Torvalds than to be like toxic know-it-all's on Stackoverflow. I know Torvalds is a god and we should all revere him because he only speaks the truth and we should all be blessed that we can bask in the eternal light of his superior intelligence, but my idea of the open-source community is humility, openness and compassion. People who want to help, however misguided or ignorant, should be welcomed. Of course, they should be guided to do things the correct way, but one can do that in a nice way and a shitty way. I choose the nice way; others do not (and apparently Torvalds is in the latter camp).

I wonder if in 2020 it dropped from #1 on google to #2 or something. The comment bot is the only thing there indicating to someone unfamiliar that it's not the place for a PR.

the settings were changed to disallow new pull requests. GitHub still shows the button because it's GitHub.
