One reviewers comments to a patch of theirs from 2 weeks ago

"Plainly put, the patch demonstrates either complete lack of understanding or somebody not acting in good faith. If it's the latter[1], may I suggest the esteemed sociologists to fuck off and stop testing the reviewers with deliberately spewed excrements?"

Interesting - follow that thread and you find https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/202104081640.1A09A99900@k... where coverity-bot says "this is bullshit":

    vvv     CID 1503716:  Null pointer dereferences  (REVERSE_INULL)
    vvv     Null-checking "rm" suggests that it may be null, but it has already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.
It also says if this is a false positive to let the "experimental semi-automated" bot know...
