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.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm very pleased to see Linus talking like this. I wish more of my relationships both professional and personal could operate with this level of straightforwardness.

If anyone spoke to me like that at work, I would quit. Which is exactly what has happened.

If you were being an asshole, and someone called you out on it, and you quit over that, I can’t imagine you’d be missed.

You don't think anyone will miss one of the top Linux maintainers over the last 10 years? You don't think anyone will miss the founder and primary developer of the only Linux distribution intended to work on silicon Macs? You don't think anyone would miss the founder and primary maintainer of the Linux kernel?
