OK, applied.
FWIW I do have a concern on this patch, I think it adds unnecessary overhead.
It isn't unnecessary. It prevents an otherwise possible kernel crash from happening.
The logic may not be unecessary, but the overhead is. The crash could be prevented in a way that doesn't require repeatedly checking a pointer that doesn't change.
