I've been thinking lately that what underpinned the FOSS golden age was not actually decentralized VCS and high-quality forges, nor even ZIRP, but rather peacetime.
After a period of branches and patchsets, full national hard forks are going to become de rigeur, and linux-derived OSes across the world are going to bloom necessarily, as we no longer have the kind of ambient trust required to collaborate across borders.
Look forward to Euro-linux, Sino-BSD, and I guess probably some sort of GCC-area build as well.
Patches will be accepted across national boundaries with only the highest scrutiny, which itself will likely be provided by nationalized AI platforms.
This is a great thing for innovation though? Nations/blocs protecting their tech interests will result in more jobs to go round in the industry, more unique ideas, and less centalisation, surely?
The globalised, hyper-centralised world is a bit boring, tbh.
I still have a MB with just a USB 1.1 controller. I would hate it if the USB stopped working after this fix. I think a config option for the delay would be best.
Is there a CVE for this?
Obvious attack vector for Russia: Submit fixes to severe bugs that can't realistically be fixed any other way.
I guess the Russians will have to learn the Chinese way and perhaps the Chinese language as well?

Gods I hate this era
OpenSuse is (or will be) "Euro-Linux".

I forecast that you will not be bored, and may have other, stronger feelings. Ask Ukrainians

Why should it be? It has low rating (yet).
Yeah, it sucks.
> This adds ~1ms latency per transfer cycle for rapid bidirectional communication which leads to half the USB 1.1 speed for smaller packets at best.
Still, I don't think this patch should be applied /for everyone/. Maybe compile out-of-tree and load as a kernel module, if possible?

The patch removes this latency and improves transfer speed, without any drawbacks.
