As I quoted, mine is an adaptation of Nicholas Piggin's original patch, basically a forward-port to 5.4 (5.10 in my OpenWrt tree [1]). Since the original proposal has been sent upstream and hasn't been merged, there are probably good reasons for it (even though it works perfectly for my use case). Nicholas, any idea on why your original patch [2] hasn't been merged?

Nicholas, any idea on why your original > patch [2] hasn't been merged? Not sure, I didn't do much testing or try too hard to get it upstream. If you have found it works and is helpful I don't see why it couldn't be merged. Feel free to submit it. Thanks, Nick ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
