That may be your view but from what I've read Ard has been very constructive in pointing out issues in your submission. If your response to criticism is to dismiss them as hostile then I'm afraid that we will not be able to progress on this patch series. Please keep in mind that this is a large project that has to support multiple users on one hand (not just WireGuard) and complex hardware acceleration drivers on the other. Ard has been one of the most prolific contributors to the crypto code and his review should be taken seriously.
