>In particular, the DMA maintainer didn't want rust code in their DMA subsystem. That sucks, but it means you need to relocate your dma bridge code out of their subsystem

The code was never in the DMA subsystem. At no point was there ever any Rust code in the DMA subsystem.

CH didn't even look at the patch before throwing the wall up. When it was pointed out that the patch already was the way he claimed he wanted it, he came up with a 2nd excuse, and then when that avenue was shut down he said he would do anything to stop Rust being put in the kernel, period, he wouldn't work with any Rust developers and he wouldn't accept adding a second maintainer for his subsystem that would do that engagement either.

From that point it's pretty clear that all previous engagement was just in bad faith.
