Thanks for catching this. Your patch looks fine. I tested for
regression, no problems. I also tested the error path and had the
expected results.

Ok, thank you for testing. I see that Mathieu Desnoyers also ack'ed
the patch (thank you Mathieu). Will you guys take care of getting it
merged upstream or should I resubmit it myself to Linus or Andrew with
your ACKs?


Thanks
Dave
