| Bugs got into new Linux Software’s Mr Sweary, Linus Torvalds, is furious that some “buggy crap” got under the bonnet of his nice new Linux kernal. Torvalds released Linux 4.8 earlier this week, but now it turns out that it contains some code he thinks can “kill the kernel”. Torvalds a said sorry yesterday on the Linux Kernel Mailing list for a bug fix gone bad. “I’m really sorry I applied that last series from Andrew just before doing the 4.8 release, because they cause problems, and now it is in 4.8 (and that buggy crap is marked for stable too).” The “crap” was fixing a bug that’s been present in Linux since version 3.15. Torvalds rates the fix for that bug “clearly worse than the bug it tried to fix, since that original bug has never killed my machine!” http://www.techeye.net/news/bugs-got-into-new-linux |
