my first patch to the linux kernel

ashwinnair99: The first one always takes way longer than the code itself deserves. Most of the work is figuring out the unwritten rules, not writing the patch.

yu3zhou4: Can confirm that it also happens in other complex systems! Still a lot of good time and the novelty factor helps with pushing through

yu3zhou4: Congrats and happy for you, you had a lot of fun and did something genuinely interesting

seb1204: Sand that after so many years these rules are still not written down.

mbana: I love these kind of posts.

foltik: Well done and great writeup! Any idea why the bug hadn’t shown up sooner, like when running self tests?
