Is there a CVE for this?

Obvious attack vector for Russia: Submit fixes to severe bugs that can't realistically be fixed any other way.

I guess the Russians will have to learn the Chinese way and perhaps the Chinese language as well?

I've been thinking lately that what underpinned the FOSS golden age was not actually decentralized VCS and high-quality forges, nor even ZIRP, but rather peacetime.

After a period of branches and patchsets, full national hard forks are going to become de rigeur, and linux-derived OSes across the world are going to bloom necessarily, as we no longer have the kind of ambient trust required to collaborate across borders.

Look forward to Euro-linux, Sino-BSD, and I guess probably some sort of GCC-area build as well.

Patches will be accepted across national boundaries with only the highest scrutiny, which itself will likely be provided by nationalized AI platforms.

Gods I hate this era

OpenSuse is (or will be) "Euro-Linux".

This is a great thing for innovation though? Nations/blocs protecting their tech interests will result in more jobs to go round in the industry, more unique ideas, and less centalisation, surely?

The globalised, hyper-centralised world is a bit boring, tbh.

I forecast that you will not be bored, and may have other, stronger feelings. Ask Ukrainians

Perfect usecase for AI, by US legal doctrine, copyright is gone after you feed it through and so should sanctions /s

Why should it be? It has low rating (yet).

I’m gonna hazard a guess and say that I don’t think the author has any troops anywhere, let alone in Ukraine.

Then he should probably move out of Russia. As near as I can tell, pretty much everyone in Russia should be trying to leave at the earliest opportunity.

So with that logic, pull requests from the US should also be ignored until they stop their attacks in the straight of hormuz?

The US is not nearly as bad as Russia (yet), but it's worth considering.

Yeah, it sucks.

> This adds ~1ms latency per transfer cycle for rapid bidirectional communication which leads to half the USB 1.1 speed for smaller packets at best.

Still, I don't think this patch should be applied /for everyone/. Maybe compile out-of-tree and load as a kernel module, if possible?

I still have a MB with just a USB 1.1 controller. I would hate it if the USB stopped working after this fix. I think a config option for the delay would be best.

The patch removes this latency and improves transfer speed, without any drawbacks.
