In response to the RISC-V Patches for the 6.17 Merge Window, Part 1, from Google’s Android team member Palmer Dabbelt, Torvalds didn’t pull any punches. Rounding off his unvarnished public broadcast to the Google engineer, Torvalds strongly recommended that they try and get in early for Linux kernel 6.18.
