The maintainer for the bcachefs
filesystem sends a last-minute patch into the upcoming 6.11 tree, claiming that its an important bug fix and it cannot wait to be merged into 6.12. Linus is not happy because the patch is quite large and it also seems to do more than a simple bugfix, adding risk of breaking things into a release that's almost ready to come out.
Here's a phoronix article giving a bit more explaination: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linus-Torvalds-Bcachefs-Regrets
Some random people in the Phoronix thread fight each other, discussing if it was right for Linus to scold the maintainer like this: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/general-linux-open-source/1487364-linus-torvalds-begins-expressing-regrets-merging-bcachefs/page17
On a related note, you might have also heard about bcachefs
this week because the Debian maintainer for the bcachefs-tools
dropped the package, citing that its way too difficult to package now due to Rust: https://jonathancarter.org/2024/08/29/orphaning-bcachefs-tools-in-debian/

Btw, Linus is right on this one, but its his own fault for the backlash. He gave in to the tone police. Now he can't even say anything even mildly confrontational without getting flack.
This is what happens when you don't stand your ground against the mob.

I think he handled this one well.
Honestly his reputation as an butthole is unjustified, he doesn't coddle people but he's just a very direct person. People often point at the "you should be retroactively aborted" email to prove it but if you look at the context he had very good reasons for getting mad and the person was not a random guy

Ops, I mixed up 2 incidents. The "retroactively aborted" was Linus joking that programmers that repeatedly make system calls (an expensive operation) to read 1 byte at the time are dumb. He wasn't insulting anyone in particular.
What I actually wanted to refer to was the "Mauro, SHUT THE FRICK UP" email: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/23/75

When I ran an open source project I buried a CoC in some readme no one cared about and whenever grifters would make an issue I'd point them to it and ban them for wasting my time

Phoronix isn't popular because it talks exclusively about Linux, the site's layout hasn't changed in 20 years and the articles and reviews are incredibly bland. It is good, but it's exactly what you expect from a Linux-only site.
