I tell you that discussions of APIs should CC linux-api, which I am
now CCing into this thread, again, because, again, you're not
listening to feedback.

Please don't confuse "not listening" with "unable to fulfill Linux
kernel maintainer requests".

I really wonder what do you expect from people not getting paid to spend
time for fulfilling maintainer request?

I've written bugs and even offered some patches (regardless how usefull
there are in your eyes, it's more than most other people can do).

And all what it brought me is that I receive flames like your one.

Do you really think that's the right way to stimulate people in helping
to make Linux better?

I'm really sorry that I can't spend several unpaid months with reading and understanding ever changing linux kernel sources in order to become a Linux filesystem expert and send some fully working perfect patches which do fix the problem in question.

And I can't spend the necessary time to play remote keyboard for kernel maintainers which might be willing to explain me what has to be done according to their view. I've already offered what I was willing to do, for the price of having to defend myself over and over. And unfortunately that wasn't the first time I've ended up with having to defend myself.

My conclusion is that I'm a real fool having posted multiple times patches to this list. It just doesn't make any sense and most of the time the only reward are flames.
