Christoph Hellwig Steps Down From One Of His Kernel Roles Following Rust Drama

([Linux Kernel] 5 Hours Ago DMA Mapping Helpers)


Following [1]the recent Rust drama within the Linux kernel that came out in part because Christoph Hellwig expressed objections to Rust bindings for the DMA mapping helpers that he is a maintainer of, Hellwig has now stepped down as one of the DMA mapping helper maintainers.

[2]Merged to the Linux 6.14 Git kernel is updating the DMA mapping maintainers entry. Christoph Hellwig has removed himself as a DMA mapping maintainer with explanation of:

"Marek has graciously offered to maintain the dma-mapping tree."

Marek Szyprowski will now seemingly maintain the DMA mapping helpers on his own. The patch removing Hellwig as a maintainer was signed off by him and Linus Torvalds.

Hellwig will continue to be (co)maintainer for the NVMe driver, NVMe target driver, personality handling, and the FreeVXFS file-system areas of the kernel.

A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The
green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that
grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals
indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the
bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled
with disapproval and potato chip crumbs. In the shadow under the green visor
of the cap Ignatius J. Reilly's supercilious blue and yellow eyes looked down
upon the other people waiting under the clock at the D. H. Holmes department
store, studying the crowd of people for signs of bad taste in dress. Several
of the outfits, Ignatius noticed, were new enough and expensive enough to be
properly considered offenses against taste and decency. Possession of
anything new or expensive only reflected a person's lack of theology and
geometry; it could even cast doubts upon one's soul.
