Thank you for sharing this.  Then I agree the current fixup is insufficient.

Andrew, could you please drop this patch series from mm tree for now?  I will
further discuss with Quanmin about the proper fix and post next version of this

I'm yet in travel, and I'd like to take more time on thinking about the proper
fix.  Quanmin, could you share more details about your test setups, both for
the compiling success case and failing case?
