As I explained before it made sense before you made the remark that
it can only get positive values i.e. the length.

You are correct in this one. If I remember right, I finally proposed
'response_pending' because 'data_pending' is really vague. For me
'response_length' is just fine too.

If you see problem in my review comment or inconsistency or whatever,
please just state it. I will listen. When you multitask between patch
reviews etc. forgetting stuff is not unheard.

And seriously, 5th iteration is not alot. User space facing changes
need alot of consideration and as uncluttered code change as possible.
