Sorry, I forgot to ack the your patch.  I did apply it and it went to
Linus during the merge window.  Unfortunately, it casued a regression,
and Linus reverted it.  What went to Linus was changed slightly,
because I was trying to fix another potential case where we could end
up looping for a very long time.  Unfortunately I screwed up the
modification patch and the regression tests didn't catch the problem.
