This is why RFC is better before coding. To avoid wasting time on exper=
iments
that have a fatal flaw. Once included in an official kernel, we wont be=
 able
to change some parameters very easily (think about 253 constant you use=
)

Or do you think only *you* can understand what's going on, and we shoul=

just trust you ?

I believe I know who you are, Mr William Allen Simpson, you dont need t=
o
repeat how much work you did in the past. This is a bit annoying.

Some patches need 6-12 months of polishing before inclusion, there is n=
othing
wrong about it. It only depends on your cooperation and patience.

And yes, even if a patch comes from Linus Torvald himself, I can talk i=
f
it does not please me.

SYNFLOOD problem is more than 13 years old, I am quite surprised its be=
coming
so urgent we should accept your patches "as is".


May I suggest to switch to normal mode, ie you prepare a next round of
patches, you submit them, we review them, [repeat 0-N time(s)], we Ack =
them ?
