Hi Jun Gu,

This change looks good to me.

Unfortunately  didn't seem to hit netdev for some reason.

And, probably unrelated to that some CCs were missing:
they should be seeded using ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl my.patch

I'd wait for feedback from Jakub on if a repost is needed
(because for one thing it's not good to repost within 24h.)

The above notwithstanding,
