Hi Sasha,

Thank you, but no, I am rejecting this patch as I have already
submitted a much more robust and accurate (stronger check) patch to
Andrew Morton a couple of days ago against 4.20-rc1.
Andrew, if you would like me to make the same patch against 4.19.1 as
well, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Tigran
