Thanks for following up!

A bit picky, but..

Wouldn't it be better to encapsulate the check of whether we're writing a new
value inside set_rd_overload_status()? Only write if it the value changed and
all future users wouldn't care then.

I think no need to wrap the line too.

While at it, could you write SG_OVERLOAD instead of 1?

Both patches LGTM otherwise
