Starting to dig into this.
However, again, this patch series intermixes improvements, new features
and bug-fixes with no specific context.
This is probably the 7th time I've requested to put bug-fixes first
followed by other improvements, but it still falls on deaf ears..
In case the last times didn't sink in, putting bug-fixes first is
important because:
- To know which bug-fixes are for existing code, instead of bug-fixes
that are a consequence of other changes.
- To know bug-fixes for existing code have been tested + verified
separate from any other changes.
For the former, every series I've gotten from you in the last seven
months has had at least one patch that is a bug-fix for some issue the
series itself introduced, and it's never been obvious.
Everybody else manages to follow this protocol, so it would be nice if
you could do the same, and it would certainly get your patches merged
faster.
