[PATCH 0/8] DRM Rust abstractions

[PATCH 0/8] DRM Rust abstractions

[Danilo Krummrich]

This is the series for the initial DRM Rust abstractions, including DRM device /
driver, IOCTL, File and GEM object abstractions.

This series has been posted previously, however this is a long time ago and I
reworked a lot of things quite heavily. Hence, I decided to post this as a whole
new series.

Besides the rework, I want to credit Lina for her initial work, which this
series is based on.

In a private mail Lina told me to "feel free to take anything that's useful
from my past patch submissions or the downstream branches and use it/submit it
in any way".

@Lina: If you, however, feel uncomfortable with any of the Co-developed-by:
tags, due to the major changes, please let me know.

Those changes include:
  - switch to the subclassing pattern for DRM device
  - rework of the GEM object abstraction; dropping the custom reference types in
    favor of AlwaysRefCounted
  - rework of the File abstractions
  - rework of the driver registration
  - lots of minor changes (e.g. to better align with existing abstractions)

This patch series is also available in [1]; an example usage from nova-drm can
be found in [2] and [3].

[PATCH 1/8] drm: drv: implement __drm_dev_alloc()

[Danilo Krummrich]

In the Rust DRM device abstraction we need to allocate a struct
drm_device.

Currently, there are two options, the deprecated drm_dev_alloc() (which
does not support subclassing) and devm_drm_dev_alloc(). The latter
supports subclassing, but also manages the initial reference through
devres for the parent device.

In Rust we want to conform with the subclassing pattern, but do not want
to get the initial reference managed for us, since Rust has its own,
idiomatic ways to properly deal with it.

There are two options to achieve this.

  1) Allocate the memory ourselves with a KBox.
  2) Implement __drm_dev_alloc(), which supports subclassing, but is
     unmanged.

While (1) would be possible, it would be cumbersome, since it would
require exporting drm_dev_init() and drmm_add_final_kfree().

Hence, go with option (2) and implement __drm_dev_alloc().

[PATCH 2/8] rust: drm: ioctl: Add DRM ioctl abstraction

[Danilo Krummrich]

From: Asahi Lina <lina@asahilina.net>

DRM drivers need to be able to declare which driver-specific ioctls they
support. Add an abstraction implementing the required types and a helper
macro to generate the ioctl definition inside the DRM driver.

Note that this macro is not usable until further bits of the abstraction
are in place (but it will not fail to compile on its own, if not called).

[PATCH 3/8] rust: drm: add driver abstractions

[Danilo Krummrich]

Implement the DRM driver abstractions.

The `Driver` trait provides the interface to the actual driver to fill
in the driver specific data, such as the `DriverInfo`, driver features
and IOCTLs.

IMHO I don't think that we should be exposing any of these constants, building
the feature flag mask should honestly be abstracted away into the rust
bindings as not doing so means it's very easy to break assumptions that could
lead to unsoundness.

As an example using the KMS bindings, assume we're handling passing the flags
manually. If I were to have a type implement drm::drv::Driver and
drm::kms::KmsDriver, we now have access to various Kms method calls on the
drm::device::Device. But all of those method calls assume that we actually set
up Kms in the first place, since checking this at runtime would lead to most
of the Kms API being fallible in places that don't make sense. So if we tried
calling a Kms specific method on a device that didn't set FEAT_MODESET |
FEAT_ATOMIC, we'd hit undefined behavior.

Yep, that was the plan, just forgot to make them crate private; on the other
hand I should probably drop them entirely for now.

[PATCH 4/8] rust: drm: add device abstraction

[Danilo Krummrich]

Implement the abstraction for a `struct drm_device`.

A `drm::device::Device` creates a static const `struct drm_driver` filled
with the data from the `drm::drv::Driver` trait implementation of the
actual driver creating the `drm::device::Device`.

[PATCH 5/8] rust: drm: add DRM driver registration

[Danilo Krummrich]

Implement the DRM driver `Registration`.

The `Registration` structure is responsible to register and unregister a
DRM driver. It makes use of the `Devres` container in order to allow the
`Registration` to be owned by devres, such that it is automatically
dropped (and the DRM driver unregistered) once the parent device is
unbound.

The code looks correct, but the wording is confusing to me.
drm_dev_unregister does indeed unregister the device, but it's not freed
until the last reference is dropped, so it's not really "dropped once
the parent device is unbound", the reference is, and it's not active
anymore.

drm_dev_unregister also have an hotplug-aware variant in
drm_dev_unplug(). However, most devices are hotpluggable, even if only
through sysfs. So drm_dev_unplug() is generally a better option. Should
we use it here, and / or should we provide multiple options still?

Another thing worth mentioning I think is that drm_dev_unplug() works by
setting a flag, and drivers are expected to check that their access to
device-bound resources (so registers mapping, clocks, regulators, etc.)
are still there through drm_dev_enter/drm_dev_exit. It's pretty fragile
overall, so I wonder if it's something we could abstract away in Rust.

The above wording is related to the Registration structure itself, i.e. the
Registration is dropped, but not the the DRM device itself. However, if the
Registration had the last reference to the DRM device, then of course it's
freed.

DRM should not have to take care of the lifetime of device resources of the
parent device. This is the responsibility of the driver core abstractions.

At least for the device resources we directly give out to drivers, it has to be,
since otherwise it would mean that the driver core abstraction is unsound.
Drivers could otherwise extend the lifetime of device resources arbitrarily.

For instance, I/O memory is only ever given out by bus abstractions embedded in
a Devres container (e.g. Devres<pci::Bar>). Once the parent device is unbound
the pci::Bar within the Devres container won't be accessible any more and will
be dropped internally. So, that's nothing DRM has to take care of.

However, there are cases where it's better to let subsystem abstractions manage
the lifetime of device resources, (e.g. DMA mappings). The relevant thing is,
that we never hand out device resources to a driver in a way that the driver can
extend their lifetime arbitrarily.

There are also other mechanisms that I plan to encode in the type system of
(bus) devices. With [1] I implemented a generic for (bus specific) devices to
indicate their context (e.g. to indicate whether this reference comes from a bus
callback, in which case we'd be allowed to call some methods without
(additional) synchronization). I want to use this to also let abstractions
indicate whether the device is guaranteed to be bound through the entire
duration of subsequent calls to drivers.

So, there are basically three ways to deal with this:

  1. Use type system encodings where possible, since it can be validated at
     compile time and is zero cost on runtime.
  2. Let specific subsystem abstractions take care of device resource lifetimes.
  3. Wrap device resources directly managed by drivers in a Devres container.

Also note that for Devres, I'm working on patches that will ensure that there is
only one single synchronize_rcu() per device / driver binding, rather than for
every Devres container instance.

I was talking about the opposite though: when the driver is still around
but the device (and its resources) aren't anymore.

It makes total sense to tie the lifetime of the device resources to the
device. However, the DRM device and driver will far outlive the device
it was bound to so it needs to deal with that kind of degraded "the DRM
driver can still be called by userspace, but it doesn't have a device
anymore" scenario. That's what I was talking about.

This scenario should be covered by the things I mentioned above. Let's take the
I/O memory example.

If you call into the DRM driver from userspace when the underlying bus device
has already been unbound, the DRM driver may still hold a Devres<pci::Bar>
instance.

If the DRM driver then calls bar.try_access() (in order to subsequently call
writeX() or readX()) the try_access() call will fail, since the corresponding
PCI device has been unbound already.

In other words the pci::Bar instance within the Devres container will be dropped
(which includes unmapping the bar and releasing the resource region) when the
PCI device is unbound internally and the Devres container will restrict
subsequent accesses from drivers.

It pretty much does the same thing as drm_dev_enter() / drm_dev_exit(), but
additionally prevents access to the (meanwhile) invalid pointer to the device
resource and ensures that the driver can't make device resources out-live device
unbind.

As mentioned above, the Devres container is just one example of how we prevent
such things; it depends on the exact scenario. In either case, I don't want the
driver itself to be responsible to setup the corresponding guards, that would
make the corresponding abstractions unsound.

[PATCH 6/8] rust: drm: file: Add File abstraction

[Danilo Krummrich]

A DRM File is the DRM counterpart to a kernel file structure,
representing an open DRM file descriptor.

Add a Rust abstraction to allow drivers to implement their own File types
that implement the DriverFile trait.

[PATCH 7/8] rust: drm: gem: Add GEM object abstraction

[Danilo Krummrich]

DRM GEM is the DRM memory management subsystem used by most modern
drivers; add a Rust abstraction for DRM GEM.

This includes the BaseObject trait, which contains operations shared by
all GEM object classes.

Our MAINTAINERS entry is pretty weird and kind of duplicated between drm
and drm-misc, we should probably put it under drm-misc too?

Yeah, that also came to my mind meanwhile. :)

I'm wondering why you took over primary authorship for some patches. For
example, patch #3 has you listed as primary author, and yet when I diff:

git diff asahi-6.11-1 asahi-6.12.12-1 rust/kernel/drm/drv.rs | grep '^+'
| wc -l
41

(Those two trees have my original commit and your commits, as rebased
over by Janne).

Of those 41 added lines, most are comments, and reworking Registration a
bit.

I thought general kernel etiquette is that you keep the original author
unless you are literally rewriting the majority of the file from scratch...

I'm really tired of kernel politics and I don't want to spend more brain
cycles looking at all the other patches or having to argue (in fact I
usually don't look at patch emails at all recently), but I would
appreciate if you keep my authorship for files that I did largely author
myself. After everything I've been going through the past weeks (some of
the people on Cc know what that's about...) this feels like yet another
slap in the face.

Because the patches did either not exist previously or have been changed
extensively.

For instance, the patch you are referring to below (commit 242ae06b5ec9 ("rust:
drm: Add Device and Driver abstractions")) has been split up in three different
patches, where one of them (patch #2) in this series has indeed mostly the same
code, the other two (#3 and #4) were modified.

Not really, this series is much different than what is in asahi-6.12.12-1.

As mentioned above I re-organized patches and changed quite a lot of code. If,
with this precondition, I would have kept you as "primary" author, you could
have been complaining about me misrepresenting you / your work instead.

Now, you could argue that I should have been asking first, right?

But in a private mail you told me (and others that have been on CC as well) the
following:

"Please feel free to take anything that's useful from my past patch
submissions or the downstream branches and use it/submit it in any way."

You said "use it/submit it in any way".

If you changed your mind on this, that is fine with me.

Please let me know where you'd like to have primary authorship changed and how
you'd like it to be.

As mentioned, please diff the correct thing and then just tell me where you'd
like to have primary authorship changed.

I thought keeping authorship is an implied part of kernel etiquette.
Usually when you submit code someone else wrote, you keep them as
primary author... I want you and others to use the code, that doesn't
mean I want you to put your name on it as if you wrote most of it.

I don't even know what tree this series is supposed to apply onto (tried
drm-misc next, torvalds/master, v6.15-rc1) so I'm just going to take
drm-misc/topic/rust-drm and assume that's what this series includes.

$ diff -urN rust/kernel/drm/drv.rs ../uplinux/rust/kernel/drm/driver.rs
| grep '^+' | wc -l
45

So I'm diffing the correct thing now and the result is essentially
identical.

Meanwhile, device.rs has many additions... but a big chunk of those is
code that was just moved from drv.rs (like drm_legacy_fields and the
code that uses it).

Again, I don't have the spoons to make some deep analysis here, you
should know how much of the code you changed, added, or just moved
around. I'm not going to litigate this further. If you think splitting
up a commit into multiple commits and moving code around warrants taking
over primary authorship of a project I've been working on for years now,
so be it. I'm just disappointed.

The broader context of the private mail was about you stepping back on kernel
development. You did so with a few more details (which I'm not going to
disclose), that made it clear to me that you don't want to be bothered with
kernel development any more.

In combination with you giving permission to "use it/submit it in any way", I
thought it's better to just pick a safe path to not misrepresent you given all
the changes I made.

I do still credit you on all corresponding patches though.

Except drm_legacy_fields! and VTABLE (which is just trival boilerplate code)
device.rs changed fundamentally, i.e. I switched the device abstraction to use
the subclassing pattern.

If you look further you will find that I really changed a lot of things.

I have *nothing* to hide, here's the overall diff for all the changes I made:

You just said you "don't have the spoons to make some deep analysis here" and
right below you acuse me of just "moving code around".

Which means that you do so *without* evidence. And again, I have *nothing* to
hide, see [1].

Besides that I also told you that I'm fine to change primary authership, if you
tell me where you think it would be appropriate (even though I do think my
changes do justify how things are currently).

> I'm just disappointed.

That's where you are maneuvering *yourself* into.

You could have easily just asked me to change things for patch #X, #Y and #Z.

Instead you outright started with accusing me of things. I also feel like you
intentionally try to misrepresent what I am doing and what my intentions are.

I neither have the time, nor am I willing to deal with random drama like this.

If you want something changed, just go ahead and tell me what, *without* more
drama and without more accusing me of things.

Alright, then please remove my authorship entirely from this series,
including Co-developed-by and signoff lines. I hereby release my code as
CC-0, which means you don't need the signoffs, it's yours now. The same
applies to any future code submitted that I originally authored as part
of the Asahi kernel git tree. That way we don't need to argue about any
of this.

I thought asking for patches that I mostly authored to keep my Git
authorship would be an uncontroversial request (and not unreasonable to
ask you to figure out which those are, since you made the
changes/splits, and #3 clearly is one), but apparently even that gets
you flamed on Linux threads these days.

I regret having been part of this community.

Look, this isn't Crank or Speed, there is no need to keep the drama
level above 50 to sort this out.

This also isn't exactly how best to relicense code, so I think we
should abstain from doing anything to help promote more drama.

The project will maintain authorship/signoffs on any patches that are
clearly still authored by you, we will err on the side of caution and
on rewritten patches which share some decent amount of history shall
retain your authorship. In this case it does appear instead of putting
in the 5 minutes of looking at Danilo's reasoning and supplied diff,
and either saying "my bad, this is sufficiently new code and I don't
feel I wrote it" or "I'd still prefer to retain authorship despite
your changes", both of which Danilo indicated would be respected you
somehow picked door number 3 which probably took more time and effort
than either of the above options. Again no need to pick door number 3
here, you can let the bus go below 50, it won't explode.

Dave.

I wanted to keep this private, but apparently it is impossible for me to
send two emails in reply to a Linux kernel thread without it ending up
all over the news and the entire world speculating about why I am so upset.

I would be a lot more willing to work with the kernel community if I
hadn't been traumatized by a major Linux kernel maintainer having
privately admitted to siding with an abuser and harasser who has
attacked me relentlessly for over one year now, mocking me for it, using
their arguments and wording against me, lying to their peers to cover up
actions and collusion against me, and more.

Now please, let me leave this community in peace. You all figure out
what to do with my code and whether you care about proper attribution. I
just want out.

P.S. my analysis based on the pasted code (since everyone here and
everyone on Reddit is forcing me to do it) is that:

The series adds around 978 lines of code. After merging some code that
was just moved around in the diff that Danilo posted, only 412 addition
lines remain in the diff. So more than 50% of the raw remaining code is
mine. If you exclude comments, Danilo only added 270 lines of actual
code (and whitespace). And of those, a good portion were just minor
changes and refactoring, not completely novel code (this also tracks
with the stat that to get to those 270 lines, 379 were removed, and much
of those probably pair up as minor refactorings and not outright novel
code).

In terms of actual code added an not just lines rearranged or further
commented, I probably wrote at least 75% of this series. And I'm sure
Danilo knows this, having done the refactoring/rearranging/modification
work to get here.

my name as primary author of patches 3 through 7.

First of all, you keep talking as if I would have been resisting to do any

Instead of taking the offer, you decided to go with wild accusations, without
even properly looking at things and understanding my intentions.

Given that you stepped back from kernel development, making clear that you don't
want to be bothered with it anymore (as you also repeated in this thread), I had
to take a decision: Do I "keep" your primary authorship for commits that I
(newly) create, commit messages I write and code that I substantially change, or
do I account for this by changing primary authorship while still giving you
credit.

The decision I took is clearly reasonable and *nothing* about it is uncommon.

I also want to point out that for patch "rust: drm: ioctl: Add DRM ioctl
abstraction" I kept your primary authorship, since I took the patch "as is" with
just very minor modifications.

However, I understand that you prefer to have primary authorship, even if the
code has been re-organized in new commits, moved, modified or rewritten.

This really is *totally* fine for me, and I won't argue about it (even though
one could).

I do not understand what you are trying to proof here and especially why.

I also do *not* agree with the above; to me it looks like it does not account
for the cases where code has been moved *and* modified.

Here's the full list of changes for the diff [1].

  - rewrite of drm::Device
    - full rewrite of the abstraction using the subclassing pattern

  - rework of drm::Registration
    - this may seem like a trivial simplification (or move), but has
      architectural implications to prevent use-after-free bugs
      - some members (vtable) of drm::Registration need to be tied to the
        lifetime of the drm::Device instead, *not* the drm::Registration
    - introduce Devres

  - rework of drm::File
    - switch to the Opaque<T> type
    - fix (mutable) references to struct drm_file (which in this context is UB)
    - restructure and rename functions to align with common kernel schemes

  - rework of the GEM object abstractions
    - switch to the Opaque<T> type
    - fix (mutable) references to struct drm_gem_object (which in this context is UB)
    - drop all custom reference types in favor of AlwaysRefCounted
    - a bunch of minor changes and simplifications (e.g. IntoGEMObject trait)

  - MISC
    - write and fix lots of safety and invariant comments
    - remove necessity for and convert 'as' casts
    - bunch of other minor changes

The sum of the above is clearly *not* minor.

I really don't agree with the fact that you keep accusing me of "stealing" your
code, which I clearly did not. Trust me, I don't need that.

> Danilo: If you do not take me up on the CC-0 offer, I expect you to put

I offered this from the get-go, hence I will do so.

However, are you sure you really want primary authorship for "rust: drm: add
device abstraction", given that drm::Device is a full rewrite?

Repeatedly offering trivialities as counterarguments, such as that my
initial analysis was incorrect (when it wasn't), or that an offhand
comment I made in my second analysis was more limited in scope than you
expected, *is* resisting. Even if you say "you will do X", if you keep
bringing up reasons why my motivation to do X is flawed, that *is*
resisting, in thinly veiled form. Not resisting would've been to say
"sorry, which patches would you like to retain ownership for? I think X,
Y make sense, while Z is mostly new code."

I never accused you of anything beyond taking over primary authorship of
the patches, which is something you did, in fact, do.

Just because I stepped back doesn't mean you can't send me an email to
ask a question to make sure you get upstreaming my code respecting my
wishes for attribution. Though given the mess this turned into, as soon
as this conversation is over, I will be sending all kernel-related
emails directly to sieve-discard. While a simple question would have
been fine and encouraged, this mess is not, and I do not have the time
or mental health cycles to deal with any more of this going forward.

So indeed, if you ever find yourself questioning something about my code
*going forward*, please take your best guess, because I'm now really
done with kernel involvement, completely.

> 
> The decision I took is clearly reasonable and *nothing* about it is uncommon.

As far as I am concerned, reorganizing someone's code and commits and
doing so as your own commit identity *without* having previously agreed
to do things that way (and without knowing that person well enough to
know it will be acceptable) is not common, and should not be common in
any respectful, well-functioning community, and is not something I've
ever done myself.

Those are things you do with prior, informed consent between both
parties. Without explicit consent, you keep the authorship info.

Correct.

Continuing to mention that "one could" and previously "even though I do
think my changes do justify how things are currently" means no, you are
not totally fine with it, and you are in fact arguing about it. Just
because you ostensibly intend to let me win the argument does not mean
you aren't arguing about it, because you are.

I'm trying to give a rough statistic of how much of the code is mine vs.
yours, because apparently you (and others in the giant Reddit thread
this somehow spawned) expect me to actually analyze the code to
determine what the authorship should be. This could have ben avoided had
you just *told* me "yeah, I think you should be the owner of most of the
patches except maybe drm::Device, can you take a look at that one and
see if that makes sense?" instead of sending me off to decide which
patches I should own, as if I need to come up with my own analysis and
conclusions while you already know what changes were made and to what code.

Of course it does. I only deleted a small section of code from the diff
that was moved verbatim and not modified. Plenty of code was moved and
modified, and that's all accounted to you.

And yet it clearly does not amount to a complete rewrite of the entirety
or most of the code, never mind the engineering and design that went
into the abstractions in the first place, which is not something you can
even measure in terms of lines of code. I'm quite certain I spent more
hours hacking on this code than you did (and in fact, most of my time is
documented in public YouTube videos), especially considering I put it
into production with a real driver.

I'm getting really tired of *your* false accusations. I never accused
you of "stealing" code, I only ever talked about primary authorship. If
you are interpreting that as "stealing" that is something you are
maneuvering *yourself* into, to use your own words.

The vtable/legacy stuff came straight from the other file. The "rewrite"
is, quite frankly, an obvious refactor (the original code was written
before the PinInit stuff even existed so it could not have been done
that way, and I've done this same refactor for other bits of code many
times before and would never call that a rewrite), but given there's
30-odd lines of new code (with comments) in the Device<T>::new() method
that comprises most of the actual effort, and most of the rest of the
file is boilerplate... sure, you can put yourself as primary author for
that one if you wish.

See? You could have started with that story about drm::Device being a
more major change than the others and spared us all the blind arguing
and wasting of time.

You send out a mail to me and other people, that you'll step back from kernel
development and additionally told people:

"Please feel free to take anything that's useful from my past patch submissions
or the downstream branches and use it/submit it in any way."

But then...

...you say this.

To me this is contradictive, but I think we can agree that it is at least
ambiguous.

I suggest you to reply to your original mail and clarify this for other people
as well.

Otherwise you may see yourself in the same situation again, sooner or later.

Also because this is uncommon, no one expects that. Ususally - and that includes
me as well - people are much more worried to be misrepresented as the author of
stuff that has changed too much from their original code.

No, I can be totally fine to comply with your request and still be convinced
that what I went with was reasonable.

I even had to point this out, since otherwise it can be read as if I would not
be convinced that I did the correct and reasonable thing.

For anyone working in this area that is intending to upstream anything
from asahi, I think if code is rewritten completely it's probably not
consistent to keep the primary author. Copyright doesn't cover ideas,
it covers the code. It's fine to add acknowledgements and other tags.
For all the other cases where it's just moving code around or
modifying it, please try and retain the primary author. I'd suggest if
anyone is basing stuff on the Asahi tree, they try to take things
as-is as closely as possible, then use subsequent commits to
clean/fix/rework, this might mean we have to live with some messy
history that isn't easily bisectable, but I think to avoid any
confusion later and to keep from repeatedly bothering Lina with kernel
development questions on what is acceptable for what patches, we
should try to remain consistent here.

If you write new code from scratch without reference to the asahi tree
at all, please try and state this is a clean implementation to avoid
future possible confusions, if you are aware there is asahi code,
though I realise that could be contradictory. There are often cases
where there is only one way to write some code and I'd rather we don't
fall into unwarranted accusations of bad behaviour.

Dave.

I think you're conflating two unrelated things here. Copyright has
nothing to do with who is the primary Git author. As far as copyright is
concerned, Danilo could submit everything as-is. Since I'm still
mentioned as co-developer, there is no copyright issue. The primary
author story is about FOSS etiquette, not a legal argument.

If you "rewrite" (as in not directly copying and pasting the original)
code while closely referencing the original and retaining some/much of
the substance, that is still covered by copyright. This is why the
clean-room process exists for reverse engineering, and why the Asahi
project has rules that it does not accept code from people who have
exposed themselves to Apple code or disassembly in most cases, and why
both Asahi and Nouveau rely on black-box register and memory tracing for
reverse engineering GPUs.

If you rewrite code from scratch without referencing the original at all
and without retaining any of the substance of the original, then of
course, that is not a derivative work, and the author of the original
would not have to be mentioned as author at all. This is how projects
like Wine reimplement the Windows API.

In this case, Danilo "rewrote" (I would say refactored) the Device
abstraction. We can decide who gets to be primary author, but I don't
think any lawyer would advise him to completely remove my attribution
entirely, implying there is nothing left copyright by me.

To emphasis and maybe a bit more dry&serious, signed off by lines are not
optional, because they signify agreement to the developer certificate of
origin irrespective of the original license. Upstream has some patches
without sob lines from all authors (well copyright holders to be strict,
with companies there's often some internal authors that get dropped), but
that is some very special case and needs real care.

On the topic itself there's a few different ways to do this, depending
whether it's more co-authorship, a complete rewrite or just some small
bugfixes on top of an existing patch. The important part is that all
authors are acknowledged, and that we have sob lines from everyone.
Ideally also with archive links, where that's not obvious, e.g. when patch
titles changed or the entire series was rewritten or when the original
patch never was submitted to a list tracked by lore.k.o.

Unfortunately git doesn't allow multiple authors, so we cannot acknowledge
them all exactly equally due to lacking tooling in the co-authored case.
But that's what the Co-Authored-by or similar tags are meant for.

It was brought to my attention that this sentence could be interpreted
in more than one way. To me, it reads as:

If you, however, feel uncomfortable [am bothered by their presence] with
any of the Co-developed-by: tags [which credit me], due to the major
changes [as in, the major changes make me uncomfortable with the tags,
because it's no longer all/mostly my code], please let me know [so I can
remove them and therefore not credit you as author at all].

A single change, removing a comma, turns it into:

If you, however, feel uncomfortable with any of the Co-developed-by:
tags [am bothered by the situation of being listed only as
Co-developed-by] due to the major changes [which was done that way due
to the major changes], please let me know [so I can change authorship to
you].

If you intended the latter interpretation, then I think this is one of
those cases where unclear communication leads the conversation and the
tone well off the rails. If I had perceived that you were open to
promoting me to primary author, as opposed to open to demoting me to
zero credit, I would have been a lot less upset about the situation.

(If you did intend my original interpretation though, then quite
frankly, WTF.)
