I have not been able to find time to dive into the detail yet. (Actually, I tried to do that for v2 or v3, where Python code was so dirty, then consumed my time to figure out what the code was trying to do) I find my concern here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/5/497 Anyway, I will take a look again when I find some time. You do not need to take care of the detail until I request to do so. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
