Again, this really needs fixing.  Preferably - as a separate commit preceding
this series, so that it could be backported.  simple_read_from_buffer() is
a blocking operation.  Yes, I understand that mainline has the same bug;
it really does need to be fixed and having to backport this series is not
a good idea, for obvious reasons.
