well, i've reviewed this thread and it's pretty apparent to any outside observer that you as a maintainer are ignoring Alexey Zaytsev's pretty reasonable request for a fix. Alexey had a problem, he analyzed it, he found a fix which he tested, and he even has offered to test anything you send his way: || I have provided a patch that I believe is trivial, that I have tested || with all possible config option combinations I thought were possible, || and that fixes the regression. If you have a reason to believe it is || wrong, please say it, I won't be offended. If there is a problem with || the patch, I'll gladly fix and resend it. that's about the most friendly tester attitude that is imaginable. but what were you able to make out of that positive attitude? The only things i've seen you send his way were insults and general handwaving about how his patch breaks stuff (without providing a _shred_ of evidence). I have to say, after having observed multiple incidents around b43 in the past few months you are one of the worst driver maintainers i've ever seen on lkml: you are ignoring regressions, you are frequently insulting our testers and now you even have the gall to NAK a patch to _your own buggy driver code_ without providing an alternative fix.
