After going back and forth a bit, I took these two as-is (aside from
the usual commit-log wordsmithing).
At some point, the state-change-notification from things like boot,
suspend/resume, sysrq-t, and panic() should probably be refactored.
But I do not believe that we are yet at that point, and there is not
much point in half-refactorings in cases such as this one.
I added the Fixes tags, and, if testing goes well, I plan to submit
them into the upcoming merge window. I have no reason to believe that
anyone is hitting this, it is only a few weeks away anyhow, and a good
chunk of that would be consumed by testing and review.
And if someone does hit it, we do have your fixes to send to them, so
thank you for that!
(These won't become visible on -rcu until I complete today's rebase,
in case you were wondering.)
Thanx, Paul
