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.
