Hi James,

Thanks for this great patch. My colleagues have opened bug in rhel to
track this and try to veryfy this patch. However, they can't reproduce
the issue this patch is fixing. Could you tell more about where and how
to reproduce so that we can be aware of it better? Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Baoquan
