Yes.

Linus Torvalds rips into Hellwig for blocking Rust for Linux:

    The fact is, the pull request you objected to DID NOT TOUCH THE DMA LAYER AT ALL.
    It was literally just another user of it, in a completely separate subdirectory, that didn't change the code you maintain in _any_ way, shape, or form.
    I find it distressing that you are complaining about new users of your code, and then you keep bringing up these kinds of complete garbage arguments.
    Honestly, what you have been doing is basically saying "as a DMA maintainer I control what the DMA code is used for".
    And that is not how *any* of this works.
The other person who replied to you is purposefully referencing a different incident.
