To make it more clear, I need to explain it more. I posted the following
two patches while resolving the oops issue. However, two are going on
for different purposes.

1) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240219041920.1183-1-byungchul@sk.com

   I started this patch as the fix for the oops. However, I found the
   root cause comes from using -1 as an array index. So let the root 
   cause fix go with another thread, 2). Nevertheless, 1) is still
   necessary as a *reasonable optimization* but not the real fix any
   more.

2) https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240216111502.79759-1-byungchul@sk.com

   I found the root cause of the oops comes from using -1 as an array
   index. So moved all the oops message, Fixes: tag, and cc stable to
   here. Long story short, 2) is the *real fix* for the oops.
