It's about you wasting people's time. Read the subject again. "Allow userspace to provide expected diskseq". That is imperative tense. I have not pointed it out to you because it just doesn't matter at all. If it's in imperative tense or if it's not in imperative tense, it doesn't matter. You're sending out a lot of messages and quite a few times it looks like your targeting newbies. One new developer sent me an email privately who was over the top grateful when I told him he could ignore you. The guy was like, "I was so puzzled, because it's my first patch and I didn't know how to respond." This was an experienced programmer who we want, but he was new to the kernel community so he didn't know if we had bizarre rules or whatever. I've looked through your patches that have recently been merged. Some of those maintainers know that you are banned and that your patches are not getting any review from the mailing list. We are really trying to be nice and to work around your situation. But don't start bothering newbies who don't know what the situation is. regards, dan carpenter -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
