What I meant is that e63aef9c9121e will increment statistics not just
when we return 0 from ctlr->mem_ops->exec_op, but also if we return
-ENOTSUPP or -EOPNOTSUPP, and I am not sure if this is exactly what is
intended. But this is somewhat orthogonal.

Thanks, although as I replied to Mark in the other branch of the thread,
since this is a regression affecting v6.8, would not we want it to be
fast tracked, and not based upon for-next?
