In article [ref] (at Tue, 11 Nov 2003 16:02:00 -0800), "David S. Miller" [off-list ref] says:

I'm asking Linus what we should do here.  It's a big change to
make to fix this bug, and if he thinks so too we'll just use
your original patch which is a safer version of the fix for 2.6.0
purposes.  If that happens, we'll integrate this nicer version
for 2.6.1 or something like this.

Yes, it is the reason why I did not submit this fisrt;
to avoid "big" change before 2.6.0.
Just in case Linus accept this change now, please apply following 
on top of the patch because I sent you wrong version with typo...

Thanks.
