Given that there is any concern about the patch now, and the merge

of sending it for v4.9.
If you end up deciding that the patch is wrong, please follow up
with a fix on top. Once the situation is resolved and the patch
merged upstream, feel free to ask stable at vger.kernel.org for a
backport to stable kernels to get it into v4.9.x.
The patch is correct, though it can be cleaned up a bit further per
Marc's suggestion. Since we now have 4.9-rc8, I'm wondering if we can
still get this into 4.9 to save the stable kernel backport.
I sent you a cleanup patch on top of this one yesterday. If you like,
I can quickly resend the patch with the cleanup squashed.
Thanks,
Shawn
