This patch doesn't make much sense...

"credits" gets initialized to 0, then on the first request, you'll
decrement it which will make it go negative. I then don't see any place
where credits is ever incremented.

Maybe that happens in a different patch, but splitting your patches out
this way makes no sense. No one can reasonably review this patch for
sanity since the lifecycle of "credits" is incomplete.
