Hi Usman:

I have just scanned the review from Eric.

If you decide to do this. As Eric has commented in [1], you should add a
new commit (a new patch) followed by current patch to convert to the
`test_line_count`. Then you should re-send the series to the mailing
list. And thus you could enhance the commit message of the first patch.
If you do not decide to do this (the current patch is enough for the
microproject), you don't need to reroll for the minor things.

So, you should never update the current patch for converting the test
using `test_line_count`. Instead, create a new commit to do this. and
BTW you could change the commit message of the first patch if you want.

Thanks,
