Then let's just continue with patches 1 and 2. They introduce no new

They are still not any way actually exposing the FDP functionality
in the standard though. How is your application going to align
anything to the reclaim unit? Or is this another of the cases where
as a hyperscaler you just "know" from the data sheet?
I think Keith already[1] mentioned a couple of times in previous replies,
this is an optional feature, if experiments doesn't give better
results, FDP hints can be disabled.
But also given that the submitter completely disappeared and refuses
to even discuss his patches I thing they are simply abandonware at
this point anyway.
Kanchan is away due to personal reasons, he is expected to be back in a
week or so.
