Hey wangjianli,
This does not look like the right fix to me.. To me, it looks like it
should be s/in in/in in a/.

If you're using an automated tool, which I can only assume you are,
to find these typos it'd be a good idea to check the output for
correctness prior to sending patches.

Thanks,
Conor.

And it would also have been nice to accommodate the exact same feedback
last time these patches were posted:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/cec12e246d7151f6041bf553629a3047e81d4afe.camel@HansenPartnership.com/

It's really disappointing you haven't accommodated any feedback either
into your bot or the patches it sends.  Not doing so really does render
this work largely useless.

I've been replying a bit to these typo "fixes" that are not fixes since
I am a native speaker and maybe some things get lost in translation but
I have pretty much never got responses from the patch submitters.

It's a little bit frustrating since fairly often, the fix is not to
remove the dupe, but instead s/in in/is in/ etc.

If there's a tool running against this stuff but maintainers are not
applying the patches as the "fixes" are not fixes it's only going to
keep generating the same patches over and over is it not?

That's up to the maintainers, but it's fairly easy to ignore patches
from given sources however often they are repeated.  There's a lot of
wrong patches that keep getting repeated ...

My own take is that the value would be marginal if all the patches were
correct, but they could be applied with minimal effort using patch
automation.  Once you have to verify correctness of each patch, I don't
think the tracking and verification effort is worth the marginal
improvement, but that's a maintainer call.

Regards,

James

And another submitter sent a similar incorrect "fix", twice, ignoring my
comments. I am OK with applying such fixes, even though they have little value.
But the submitter has to be willing to listen and fix their patches. I will not
do that for them :)
