Patch ordering issue mostly. I only marked stable those that fix the immediate/reported problem. I noticed this while working on the code, this fixes, afaict, a pre-existing issue, where the current code relies on list_empty(&->wd_list), but we don't actually initialize it at all. Marking it stable is probably fine, but I didn't go to great lengths to test the individual code paths affected.
