Also, this function scares me to no end: lack of locking and recursion
are the main things that worry me. My vote would be to implement
something based on Rafael's approach (which conveniently solves all kind
of other issues).

I'll review this patch series in a more in-depth way soon, but I wanted
to chime in and add my own weight to Lorenzo's proposal.

Thanks,
