So, the patch was about a possible double-free, detected presumably from a bad static analyzer. Couldn't this patch have been done in good faith? That's not at all impossible.

However, the prior activity of submitting bad-faith code is indeed pretty shameful.

I'm not a linux kernel maintainer but it seems like the maintainers all agree it's extremely unlikely a static analyzer could be so wrong in so many different ways.
