Ah, right. I did a quick google to check when I was writing the
response and found this: https://lwn.net/Articles/882963/. But looks
like that cover letter is wrong and the documentation is right. I
wonder what the point of the asymmetric mode is then.

So the current code that you have should work perfectly. The only
change I'd like to see is in the documentation.

Thanks!
