I am waiting for decision from candidates listed at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201510251952.CEF04109.OSOtLFHFVFJMQO@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp . If your series is not for backporting, please choose one from the candidates. Can you accept the original patch at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201510212126.JIF90648.HOOFJVFQLMStOF@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp which implements (1) from the candidates?
