Thank you for the review. I decided not to work on my patch anymore
after the review because my patch was problematic and not useful.

My patch doesn't mean much to me at this point, but if it needed to be
fixed, I think it should have been.

I've been doing some Linux kernel research on the IBM Cloud s390x VPC
and running syzkaller and Linux kernel tests tools to send out useful
patches. :)
