It may have regressed.  I 'know' it was correct in customer patched kernels as it fixed production stop bugs.

I 'believe' it was correct in mainline long back.  Perhaps it regressed during one of the refactoring passes.

I don't think this is the case but maybe...  The code was perpetually broken in mainline for one reason or the other except for the most trivial case.

Customer phones did hang without a kick in production volumes for their use cases.

I will see if I can dig up an older image to cross check in the next few days...
