Linus Torvalds rages against ‘random turd files’ in Linux 6.15-rc1 directories
Quoting: Linus Torvalds rages against ‘random turd files’ in Linux 6.15-rc1 directories —
Linus Torvalds is back at his explosively scatological best in some recent comments about a Linux 6.15-rc1 pull request (h/t Phoronix). The target of the Linux creator and lead developer’s ire was “the disgusting ‘hdrtest’ crap,” which he accused of slowing down software builds and leaving “random ‘hdrtest’ turds around.” Torvald’s full post concerning the hdrtest issue registered a six on the turd-o-meter.
While Torvalds was disturbed by the code that was impacting the latest Linux kernel, beginning his post with a “Grr,” he remained precise in his objections to it. “I did the pull, resolved the (trivial) conflicts, but I notice that this ended up containing the disgusting ‘hdrtest’ crap that (a) slows down the build because it's done for a regular allmodconfig build rather than be some simple thing that you guys can run as needed (b) also leaves random ‘hdrtest’ turds around in the include directories,” he wrote.

Torvalds fumes over "code turds" in Intel graphics code in Linux 6.15
IT’s Mr Sweary Linus Torvalds has blasted Troubled Chipzilla’s “hdrtest” feature.
The new "hdrtest" code is for the Intel Xe kernel driver. It aims to help ensure the Direct Rendering Manager header files are self-contained and pass kernel-doc tests — basic maintenance checks on the included DRM header files to verify they are all in good shape.
In a post entitled Grrrr Torvalds accused the code of not only slowing down the full-kernel builds but also leaving behind "random" files for dependencies "that then make the source tree nasty"
"I did the pull and resolved the (trivial) conflicts, but I noticed that this ended up containing the disgusting 'hdrtest' crap that (a) slows down the build because it's done for a regular allmodconfig build rather than be some simple thing that you guys can run as needed (b) also leaves random 'hdrtest' turds around in the include directories," he wrote.
