Hm, the body of the commit message ended up in the subject
and the patch was submitted twice.

Nam Cao worked on this back in May:

v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1714762038.git.namcao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1714838173.git.namcao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1715609848.git.namcao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Note that there was discussion on v2 after v3 had been submitted,
i.e. the last messages in the discussion are in the v2 thread.

Nam Cao's patches didn't get applied, I think we hadn't reached
consensus or were waiting for a v4.

Nam Cao's v2 uses the exact same approach that you're proposing
and they subsequently found a way to crash the kernel despite the
newly introduced error handling:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240506083701.NZNifFGn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

So I'm afraid your patch may not work in every scenario.

Thanks,

Lukas
