Great.

This looks a bit non-standard. IMHO, Joe was not against using index.
He proposed:
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(pfl) && buf < end; i++) {
, see
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/e5ea9e8b1190c2a397a1b84dd55bb9c706dc7058.camel@perches.com/
I am not sure about the (buf < end) check. It might be some
optimization or it did fit the the old code.
Anyway, I like the currently used:
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(pff); i++) {
It is standard, easy to understand, and thus more safe. I am sure that
compiler will optimize it very well.
