Linus responds to Hellwig - "the pull request you objected to DID NOT TOUCH THE DMA LAYER AT ALL... if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG." (lore.kernel.org)

Hellwig is the maintainer of the DMA subsystem. Hellwig previously blocked rust bindings for DMA code, which in part resulted in Hector Martin from stepping down as a kernel maintainer and eventually Asahi Linux as a whole.

Things are better when people are able to speak openly about issues and get shit done.

The meetings I hate the most are with people who'll spin everything with hollow platitudes.

There exists a middleground. You can speak openly without platitudes and without being disrespectful.
