    [$] Two LLM-assisted memory-management patch sets

    Description:
    The kernel community (like many other free-software projects) has recently
    seen a large influx of patches developed with the assistance of large
    language models (LLMs). Those patches tend to come from developers who
    were previously unknown to the community. At the moment, though, the memory-management developers are evaluating two large patch sets, developed with LLM assistance, that were submitted by established and well-respected developers. The rather different reception accorded to that work may give insights into how LLM-generated contributions will be handled going
    forward.
