Dear Jintao,
Forgive me for noticing that this is no longer Phillip's code, so I took the freedom as the original submitter of the bug to include Hsin-Yi into the Cc: list, so he'd be informed about the error in his code.
Phillip: I usually stop myself at bisecting bugs, and not people, so if you think that I was demeaning your professional contribution, I will pull a halt on this and pull out of this thread.
I am more like weeks than decades long in Linux kernel study, so I realise I haven't earned the right to give you lessons, and if I sounded like that, I apologise again.
Owing to the Author of my story, it is more important for me to win hearts for my Saviour than points in bug hunting.
Thank you.
