I was about to propose the same. 1) is a regression fix and should be merged first and go to stable trees (it is a low priority fix but still worth having addressed). Also a minor nit. You do not have to send cover letter for a single patch series. Thanks for working on this Mathieu! -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
