I'm confused about what the Linus said. It seemed that the branch cannot
be rebased after merged into linux-next under normal circumstances, why?
You should never rebase a public-facing branch.
Linus found this issue by check commit time of commits, but I also found so
many commit in mainline are too young to be merged into linux-next before
merge to mainline. If the rebase is not recommended, why people like to
do rebase after commits are merged into linux-next?
What commits have you found, and are you sure those are not just merged
through email submissions to Linus instead of a git tree pull? Please
note that some subsystems still use email, like Andrew Morton's.

We can see that, last non-merge commit is just 2 hours older than
merge-commits committed
by Linus, so these non-merge commits shouldn't contained in linux-next
before merge into
mainline. Does me misunderstand something?
Thanks
As for why people like to rebase, I do not know, you will have to ask
them why they like to do bad things :)
does this help?
