This is the actual change if you're curious: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=80b6f094756f

And the paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3626780

That's way more than 30 lines or code and also their "We didn’t add anything." claim seems to be nonsense.
