Hm, you and Larry Finger sent the exact same fix at around the same
time, although I think people are leaning towards the other patch
(it's just a naming preference), see here:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161224195532.15128-1-Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
I plan to take the other patch, but since you first reported the
issue to lkml, and additionally sent a fix in response, I will add a
Reported-by: tag to the patch so I can also give you credit.
Thanks Valdis!
Jessica
