With old code + my patch, we only hit 1 comparison in the general case, and a 2nd one in "fixed-link" case. With your suggestion above, it would mean that we hit 3 comparisons all the time.

It's customary to include a description body even if it's little more than a restatement of the subject.

I understand, but _why_ it is needed is also obvious in this case; I mean, without the patch "fixed-link" cannot be used. Other patches may not be as obvious/simple and thus justify and require more details.

If for whatever reason, you or anybody else think that the comment is not good, would you mind proposing a comment that would make everybody happy so that the patch goes thru? And if you or anybody else does not want the patch, could you please say so as well? I have to admit this process (sending patches and getting it reviewed) could benefit from more clarifications. For example, the process could say that at least 2 reviewers must agree on it (on the comments made to the patch and on the patch itself). I could also say that reviewers are to express not only their opinion but to clearly and unequivocally accept or reject. For instance, right now, it is not clear to me if your comments are "nice to have" or "blocking" the patch. I don't know if the patch is welcome or not, etc. So I submitted v5, but maybe it was not even necessary, it's hard to know where in the submission process we are.

No, that is not necessary. My understanding is that the bugzilla is more of a place to report a bug you've found but don't have a patch for.

I think Gerrit would probably be too big (and being written in Java, using Prolog and other DSLs, implementing its own Git server in Java, etc, may make some -or lots?- of kernel developers cry :-) ) However, in Gerrit it is easier to know where in the "review" process we are, because people have to explicitly give a score "+/- X" when commenting on a patch. Also, the diff can operate between different versions of the patches themselves to see if the inlined comments were addressed. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 26+ messages in thread

Gerrit has some merits, but for seasoned developers it's largely a nuisance. It's probably good at keeping junior/undisciplined developers from doing too much damage by strictly enforcing a cumbersome process. -- Måns Rullgård ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 26+ messages in thread
