Patch Question

[Perry Hooker]

Hi everyone,

I recently submitted a patch to the kernel mailing list:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/21/712

I received some feedback on the patch. After a bit of polite
back-and-forth, the respondent stopped replying when I asked for more
information, and I haven't heard anything from the maintainers.

Based on my analysis (contained in the thread), I still think the
patch is correct & appropriate.

What's the best way to determine if this is a good fix or not?
How should I proceed if the patch is, in fact, a good fix?

Best regards,
Perry
