Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] feat: scale vmpressure window with machine size

["Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" <ljs@kernel.org>]

NAK.

I'm not sure what you're doing here but this looks suspiciously like you're
taking somebody else's (previously rejected) work and putting your name to it?

And you're sending a v2 without having sent a v1? What?

You're also getting basic process wrong here. We don't prefix with 'feat'. You
only cc'd key people on 1/3 patches.

There doesn't appear to be a cover letter. You are sending random vmalloc
changes along with this too?

So you're just making stuff up here? Clamp between 128 and 2048 because why not
I guess? And no mention about the rest of the logic?

There was already a patch for this in [0] which looks suspiciously close to what
you're doing here (modulo clamping without using a clamp macro),
unacknowledged.

I hope you understand plagiarism is completely unacceptable?

In any case it was rejected then for various reasons, you re-sending the same
idea without crediting that changes nothing.

Cheers, Lorenzo
