We need to solve this problem and that is not under discussion. I also believe this problem
needs to be solved in a way that addresses the problem where it belongs - not in the users of
the hot_add API. Both my solution and the one proposed by David https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/12/57
address this issue. You can select either patch and check it in. I just want the issue addressed and I am not
married to the solution I proposed.
