Say what you want about Linus’s style of leadership and communication, but seen from a code quality standpoint he is absolutely correct. The implementation detail he is complaining about is atrocious.

Your 'garbage' RISC-V patches are 'making the world worse'
I'd personally fucking laugh out loud if I hear that myself from Linus. 0 personal attack and 100% hillarious.

I love how enthusiastic he is about
make_u32_from_two_u16()It really is kinda hard to justify wrapping
a << 16 | bin a function.Yep, these kind of wrapper functions actually hurt kernel readability and add unecessary call overhead - in critical kernel paths every instruction counts.
Especially given that one actually tells you where the values get placed.
