Maybe Linus saw the race condition but just fixed it badly, again. https://dirtycow.ninja/ “This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me 11 years ago in commit 4ceb5db9757a… but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by [another] commit.”
(sorry, I thought by “that” you meant my comment or the content of the link or something else)
As far as I understand, Linus did an LLM assisted coding session that resulted in code with a race condition. But to what extend he or the LLM is specifically responsibe for the bug, we don’t know because he didn’t share the session, only the result.
I believe Linus has clearly stated his position that he is specifically responsible for the bug, regardless of whether he uses LLM agents, Ouija boards, or vim to create it.
Did AI generate that race condition commit of linus?

Thanks, I thought he only now started using LLM’s in commits to write code, based on the article.
But I haven’t really followed him closely
