Torvalds Frustrated Over "Disgusting" Testing "Turd" DRM Code Landing In Linux 6.15
The big set of open-source graphics driver updates for Linux 6.15 have been merged but Linux creator Linus Torvalds isn't particularly happy with the pull request
When seeing this mailing list post, my immediate assumption was it being some new HDR testing code that slipped under my radar from DRM-Next coverage, given all the ongoing High Dynamic Range / color management work happening recently for the Linux desktop. The new "hdrtest" code is for the Intel Xe kernel driver and is around trying to help ensure the DRM header files are self-contained and pass kernel-doc tests. So all of the DRM-Next code has made it into Linux 6.15 Git as of tonight, but Linus Torvalds is expecting all this "hdrtest" mess to be cleaned up.
