From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fake news. It’s merely a re-send of the patches; nothing landed yet.
The Phoronix article and their title makes that clear; you editorialised it to state differently. (Also, that’s…cringe.)
That's just an ACK and Elizabeth replied that she'll resend again with further changes.
Nothing is in any tree that is going to Linus yet AFAICT.
We could be reasonably sure that it'll go to Linus if it's in char-misc but that hasn't happened yet. I'm also actually not sure whether Greg's or Arnd's tree is the canonical one there.
