What I mean is you seem to have found a way to configure the system to
get what you want it to do. It was unclear to me whether this patch is
absolutely necessary from your last reply.

Some may consider the log informational (like you), some may think it
warrants a warning (because not enough memory).  People also don't seem
to be particularly bother by it since its introduction in 4.10.

I have no objection to applying this patch. I can pick it up if I don't
hear objection in the next couple of days.

Wei.
