You really need to test your changes.

Particularly on a platform where size_t has a different size than
'int'.  That will generate several warnings, as shown by all of the
build warning reports sent by the kbuild test robot in response to
this patch series.

Also, you need to CC: all relevant mailing lists for the entire series
of patches, and also provide a "Subject: [PATCH 0/N] xxx" posting
describing at a high level and in detail what this patch series is
doing, and why.

It should also clearly state what exact tree you expect these patches
to be merged into.

Thanks.
