Just a ping, to see if there are any more comments :-P
I guess you missed what went into mainline (and your name found a bug
in my perl script for importing patches ;-)

Cool~ Missing some chinese font maybe, that's fine :-)
Which means patch 1 needs to change:
quoted
+	/*
+	 * Disable preemption to fulfill the promise.
+	 *
+	 * Don't worry about the bit 0 cases, they indicate
+	 * the disabling behaviour has already been done by
+	 * internal call previously.
+	 */
+	preempt_disable_notrace();
+
 	return bit + 1;
 }

+/*
+ * Preemption will be enabled (if it was previously enabled).
+ */
 static __always_inline void trace_clear_recursion(int bit)
 {
 	if (!bit)
 		return;

+	if (bit > 0)
+		preempt_enable_notrace();
+
Where this wont work anymore.

Need to preempt disable and enable always.
Yup, will rebase on the latest changes~
