I'm not going to apply this, it's clearly not a constructive or helpful effort to address the issue - it's not engaging with any of the discussion about how to resolve the issue (there's no mention of the suggested fix for example). If you're going to run randconfigs that's great and the testing is useful but if you're going to send patches as well as reports it would be really helpful to look at what the code is doing so that the change makes sense rather than just sending the first thing that springs to mind. The smarter the stuff that gets sent is the more likely it is to either get merged or encourage people to work on the problem. In this case it seems like Xiong is likely to fix things and it'd be much better overall to get a fix from Xiong merged (which we seem to be progressing towards).
