The fixed commit above was cc stable, so we'll probably need all these
three patches in stable. But I'd keep them a bit in -next for testing
first (and I see Andrew already picked them up; we might as well merge
them in 5.20 and send them to -stable after, it's not some critical
feature).

Thanks for the series. I don't think you need to respin unless others of
comments.
