Hi Marc, Tian,

Marc, IIUC the above was implemented by 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251210173024.561160-1-maz@kernel.org

Which was recently applied to next, and it its way to mainstream.

Tian, I think it's worth rebasing this patchset on top of the above.

BTW, I am working on using the feature enabled by this patchset on a new 
optimization, so please include me on any new release.

Thanks!
Leo
