Hi Leizhen, and guys in the mail list,

Recently I find one patch removing a debug OOM error message from btrfs=20
selftest.

It's nothing special, some small cleanup work from some kernel newbie.

But the mail address makes me cautious, "@huawei.com".

The last time we got some similar patches from the same company, doing=20
something harmless "cleanup". But those "fixes" are also useless.

This makes me wonder, what is really going on here.

After some quick search, more and more oom error message "cleanup"=20
patches just show up, even some misspell fixes.


It's OK for first-time/student developers to submit such patches, and I=20
really hope such patches would make them become a long term contributor.
In fact, I started my kernel contribution exactly by doing such "cleanups".

But what you guys are doing is really KPI grabbing, I have already see=20
several maintainers arguing with you on such "cleanups", and you're=20
always defending yourself to try to get those patches merged.

You're sending the patch representing your company, by doing this you're=20
really just damaging the already broken reputation.

Please stop this KPI grabbing behavior, and do real contribution to fix=20
the damaged reputation.

Thanks,
Qu
