The code failed basic build testing when CONFIG_MULTIPLEXER=m due to incorrect preprocessor conditionals, causing redefinition errors. Torvalds refused further pull requests this merge window and demanded the code be properly tested in linux-next before resubmission in 7.1. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
