NAK.
this is generated by some AI slopper's script, spamming the kernel. The
patches I looked at were wrong/broken, so no to anything from this person.
They've sent 300 mails in under four weeks spanniing: ata, scsi, target,
ufs, nvme/nvmet, ubifs, ublk, zloop, dm, md, mmc, virtio-blk, mfd, gpio,
pwm, spi, PCI, ASoC, ACPI, net, vfs mount, block partitions, and now mm.
and 17 series across 7 subsystems over the past 23 hours.
We need a way to ban emails from people like this...
