As I explained, the dying flag should only be mentioned after we change

Hello Ming,

If patches 2 and 4 would be combined into a single patch then it wouldn't
be necessary anymore to update the comment introduced in patch 2 in patch 4=
.
I think that would make this patch series easier to review.

Since the issues fixed by your patches are longstanding issues, have you
considered to add a "Cc: stable" tag?

Thanks,

Bart.=
