Nothing I see wrong: Reviewed-by: Peter Xu <pet...@redhat.com> One trivial thing: some multiple-line comments is following the net/ coding style rather than mm/, but well.. I don't think it's a huge deal. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.html#commenting Thanks again. -- Peter Xu
