Linus Torvalds Rages Against 'Turds' in Linux 6.15 Kernel

Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, expressed his strong displeasure with the newly merged hdrtest code in the Linux 6.15 kernel, specifically within the Intel Xe driver. This testing code generates unnecessary temporary files during the build process, cluttering the source tree, slowing down the build, and even affecting filename completion. Torvalds referred to it as "turds" and demanded its removal, suggesting that developers run it as a separate test instead of integrating it into the regular build. While the code aims to ensure the integrity and kernel-doc test-passing of DRM header files, its crude implementation infuriated Torvalds.
