Thanks Christoph for getting back on this. I will try to find answers to your queries and get back on this. Besides, Al Viro reviewed this patch [1] and commented that fix looks good. Hence, I was following up to get this merged as I thought it must be a miss to not pick it up :) [1] - https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/3/47 Thanks, Sahitya. -- -- Sent by a consultant of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
