Definition of primadonna: "a very temperamental person with an inflated view of their own talent or importance." My issue from the start on Friday night (in private) has always been how holier-than-thou yet abusive you've been since having discovered this bug in dm-flakey's optional "corrupt_bio_byte" feature. > Pushing completely broken code because you made no attempt to > test it and then flipping out when called out over it - that is. I didn't push commit 1d9a94389853 _because_ I "made no attempt to test it". Commit 1d9a94389853 sought to fix a similar but different corruption in the original "corrupt_bio_byte" implementation (which proved useful for the specific case it was first developed for). > To recap, we're not talking about some obscure corner cases, we're > talking about core documentated functionality in dm-flakey that is > completely broken in ways that show up immediately if you run it - and > there's at least three bugs that I saw; the parsing code, the > clone_bio() memory corruption, and the read side corruption still wasn't > working when I fixed or worked around the other two (write side did). > > This isn't your personal project, this is the kernel - there are > standards, and other people depend on your work. dm-flakey is used > heavily by filesystem folks, and additionally, md-faulty was recently > removed because, supposedly, dm-flakey was sufficient. > > And that's what I was using before, and it worked fine, so I'm willing > to bring it back and maintain it if dm-flakey can't be relied on. This dm-flakey corrupt_bio_byte bug will be fixed upstream this week. But your recap is devoid of any understanding that my responses to this dm-devel thread, and your private messages, have primarily taken issue with how you've chosen to conduct yourself. I'm not aware of dm-flakey's corrupt_bio_byte being used in upstream testing frameworks (xfstests only uses flakey's basic capabilities). Any willingness to elevate dm-flakey's corrupt_bio_byte to wider use in upstream testing frameworks would have uncovered the need for your fix. You were first to notice it. Rather than be cool about it, you've been hostile from the start and completely misrepresented the significance of the bug given the limited scope of who is impacted. I really am done responding to your escalating campaign of self-owns.
