OK but as far as I can tell, mainline is still not fixed regarding this
issue. I can't introduce in a stable branch a fix which is not yet in
mainline. Thus I'll simply remove the patch from this series and will
merge both patches in a future series once your fix reaches mainline.

Note that I picked this fix from 3.2 (commit ef8500b18fc4bb) so my
understanding is that this patch needs to be reverted from 3.2 as well
for the time being ?

Thanks very much for the detailed investigations!

Willy
