The first fix(es) didn't work with the issue reported in [2], which
was in turn very similar to that in [1].  Since I didn't know why, I
couldn't be sure that the first fix was correct and did not introduce
other issues.

Nope. I proposed the full series in this thread, the day after the
full fix was confirmed to work.  I didn't propose any partial series
patch before, for the above reason.

I guess they should, as fixes to bugs that may cause crashes.  If
there are other rules for these tags, I'm sorry but I'm not aware of
them.

The only two non-fix patches are non-functional, trivial code
improvements made along the way.

Submitting a V2.

Thanks,
