Sashiko found no real issue from this patch, or pre-existing ones that better
to be fixed together with this series.  I will drop RFC tag in the next
revision.

I consider this series as hotfixes, and therefore Cc-ed stable@.  But, because
the impact is minor, I will post the next revision after I believe all MM pull
requests for this merge windoow are completed.


Thanks,
