Do I understand you correctly that patch 2/3 is written in such a way that
it does not introduce a deadlock, and you add patch 3/3 only to prevent future
problems? If so, it seems to me that patch 3/3 could/should be separate from
this series, as it does not quite match "Add average qp control".

Andrzej
