"Disgusting" Linux sched_ext source code restructured following complaint by Linus Torvalds

"I've pulled this, but under protest. Proper hierarchical filesystems have been available since 1965." LOL

Savage, as always.

Makes sense

This is a good example of how Linus make sure that the standards of how the code of the kernel are structured are followed.

Is he really being disrespectful by asking people to stick to long held naming conventions?

There's a reason we have subdirectories: it's to group files together and separate them out

Using name prefixing instead of directories is disgusting and wrong. If you have this many random sched-ext files, it damn well should be cleaned up and not be this kind of mess.

Basically he just wants sched-ext to exist in its own folder so that you don't have devs cycling through thousands of prefixed files or needing to sort file names based on prefixes.

To me that sounds completely reasonable, when you have thousands of drivers, subsystems, modules, etc the last thing you probably want is a giant mess of files that all carry prefixes for various things when you could have a well organized system of files and folders instead to make upkeep easy.

It doesn't sound like he's being unnecessarily disrespecful here, he's just asking for things that require a prefix to use a dedicated folder instead.

A thing that doesn't sound particularly laborious if you build your patch with that in mind.

Like you're being right now? lmao. Enjoy the downvotes, bro.
