This patch is now in the mainline (e30f65c4b3d671115bf2a9d9ef142285387f2aff).
However, this fix is not in 6.4.y yet, so the original issue is reproducible on
6.4.y.  Could you please add this to 6.4.y?  I confirmed the mainline commit
can cleanly applied on latest 6.1.y tree, and it fixes the issue.


Thanks,
SJ
