Indeed, to be clear it was just general advice about queue-on-top.
But to clarify what I was getting at here: If we just came up with the
same diff I'd have assumed Jeff just hadn't need the change in "next",
but since he clearly has I was confused by it being here.
I.e. it doesn't *seem* like anything in the rest of the series depends
on it, so why have it here at all since the bug is being fixed anyway?
Or if it does depend on it in some subtle way I've missed, perhaps it
does need to be queued on top of ab/tr2-leaks-and-fixes, and the
relevant commit/subtle dependency needs to be called out in a commit
message.
Or maybe Jeff had just come up with this independently, noticed it just
before submission and just updated the CL, not the patch or series
itself :)
