Where are people getting this from? Greg literally, explicitly, accuses Aditya of malice. I have repeatedly quoted him doing so.
Again, quoting for the millionth time,
"> You, and your group, have publicly admitted to sending known-buggy patches to see how the kernel community would react to them, and published a paper based on that work."
YOU. The first word. In a response to Aditya. It's a false allegation, it's literally incorrect.
Aditya was NOT one of the researchers involved in that previous work.
Followed by "and your group," which is exactly what my last post said. And even if he was not part of the group that carried out the previous work, he would still be part of the UMN CS research program that "publicly admitted to sending known-buggy patches..."
I've said multiple times it seems that Pakki is receiving far more blame than he deserves. He merely submitted bad patches and got defensive about the manner in which they were rejected.
99% of his reaction was related to the previous paper's actions, it's unfortunate that Pakki is getting the blame but from the first post Kroah-Hartman tried to deflect blame away from him.
