Based on the fact that the commit "mm: Aggressive slab merging heuristics" and the email from Linus that Adrian replied to doesn't exist, I highly suspect that this is a hallucination from AI. /me reads a few other emails from adriangarciacasado42@gmail.com Okay, this account has sent a few patches, ignored human feedback, and kept submitting patches. Miguel even gave some guidance on tool-assisted patches [1] and it pretended to be a human? [2] :( [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANiq72k_Kn2xwLkdddwcsJONJbAJKu5iTyvTPGD41pggHwVs7g@mail.gmail.com [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANiq72mXOgn6dx44WYxL7T2kpsJWwVEL8be3JF7OmKeYauLGLg@mail.gmail.com You can't add Tested-by: to patches without actually testing them. Nor can you use AI tools to generate patches and pretend you didn't. Nor should you use AI tools to fix code you don't understand, of course. Please stop doing this, it doesn't add any value to the project. -- Cheers, Harry / Hyeonggon
