    Reminds about recent Linus’ rant on LKML.

    You copied that function without understanding why it does what it does, and as a result your code IS GARBAGE.

    AGAIN.

      Yeah, code reuse is a massive problem in the industry. I can’t find it now, but I remember a few years back that there was a vulnerability in the (I think ) Intel management engine due to manufacturers reusing example code from the documentation that wasn’t secure
