OK this is what I like to hear :) please report it on-list. If you do: $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl mm/nommu.c And send reports to all people/lists listed it'd be appreciated! The grumpiness is not the usual mm reception, and certainly not that to bug reports/patches. > > > Well if it's important, test it. Test the tip kernel. Report bugs. Contribute > > code.

I'd ask that you do a human pass over anything produced and rewrite any of the insane paragraphs it comes up with and then check to make sure it's all valid first. And if you can come up with a patch (please human-written though using AI to help is absolutely fine - I do the same) all the more better. > > Cheers, > > Daniel -- Cheers, Lorenzo
