Hellwig is the maintainer of the DMA subsystem. Hellwig previously blocked rust bindings for DMA code, which in part resulted in Hector Martin from stepping down as a kernel maintainer and eventually Asahi Linux as a whole.

        What does glazer mean in this context? (English is my fourth language)

        English is my first language and I also wondered. The definition in the other reply to you was only added to wiktionary last year. According to know your meme, it became popular on TikTok in 2023 and allegedly originated on discord in November 2021.

        (wiktionary also has another definition which I’ve also never heard of before which has been there since 2007 with no quotations or other evidence of actual use…)

          A glazed donut is a pastry with a shiny coating of sugar covering it. The basic idea is that if you put someone’s body-part in your mouth, for the purposes of this discussion, let’s call it a “long finger”, when it leaves your mouth, the wetness gives it a shiny look like it was glazed.

          So to say you are glazing someone would mean you are such a fan of that person, you would be willing to make some parts of them really, really shiny with your mouth saliva.
