A full week is what we tell people to A full week to get a response to a question? Yes, I find it way too long. I didn't ask for some complicated code review, did I? I don't know who "we" are and where "we" tell people, but I disagree that one week is acceptable latency to coordinate stuff like this across multiple subsystems. I understand that life happens, and sometimes times are busier than normal, but then a quick reply along the lines "sorry, busy, will get back later" would be nice and completely normal, and I don't think it's too much to ask. And having said that, there were replies to other emails on the mailing list from you and Masami, and even reviews for patches that were posted way after my email. So I do believe that everyone is busy, but I don't buy not having time to write a quick reply. > wait if they don't get a response. And your email was directed to multiple > people.

You and Masami are maintainers of linux-trace tree, and rethook is part of that. Masami's original code was the one in question and I did expect a rather quick reply from him. If not Masami, then you would have a context as well. Who else should I be asking? If ARM64 folks somehow have more context, it wouldn't be that hard to mention and redirect, instead of ghosting my email. > > Funny part is, I was just about to start reviewing Masami's fprobe patches > when I read this.

(I'll ignore all the personal stuff) You are probably talking about [0]. But I was asking about [1], i.e., adding HAVE_RETHOOK support to ARM64. Despite all your emotions above, can I still get a meaningful answer as for why that wasn't landed and what prevents it from landing right now before Masami's 20-patch series lands?
