Yeah. In the end, I looked up those functions and saw that they sleep as well. On the staging list, we're not going to be subsystem experts. Also I prefer just emailing people my questions instead of looking things up in the code since hopefully they know the answers already if they wrote the patch. > > Should I test and resend the patch with a new changelog?
