Last week, Linux kernel contributor Qu Wenruo scolded another code donor, Zhen Lei, for wasting kernel maintainers time with unnecessary patches.
In a post to Zhen Lei and the rest of the Linux kernel mailing list, Wenruo said he recently found a patch removing a debug out-of-memory error message from a selftest used by btrfs, a file system supported by the Linux kernel. It s nothing special, some small cleanup work from some kernel newbie, wrote Wenruo. But the mail address makes me cautious, @huawei.com .
This is not the first time similar harmless cleanup patches have come from Huawei, said Wenruo, who observed those fixes were also useless.
