Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument size
Readability and obviousness are in the eye of the beholder.
Linus has merged my patches, so this crash is now fixed.
As I said before, you should by all means send further clean-up
patches if you think they are improvements.
I have no special interest in this area. I gave my opinions and
advice because I was CC'd, and then submitted some patches myself
because I was asked to. I can't really keep track of all the
formalities. The CC list on my submissions represented the set
of people I knew to be involved in the discussion. I'm sorry if
you felt slighted. I just pay attention to the code, not the
personalities. The most reliable way to make sure your name is
associated with a change is to submit patches yourself in a form
that Linus wants to merge.
Thanks,
Roland
