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.

    So no, it’s not several months; it’s barely one month

    How many months should he have waited for an authoritative response?

    I don’t agree with Hector’s response either but that has nothing to do with the fact that Linus left them alone for months to sort out between themselves when he could have simply stepped in and ended it.

    it turns out that the reaction was pretty clear not “no reaction”. That’s the reason this thread we’re talking in exists.

    This thread? The one that appeared weeks after he already quit? Not helpful.
