Looking at Sashiko's comments [1] again, it looks like there are even
more issues. Seems like these bugs are quite deep into the weeds of
accounting, would definitely like some advice from reviewers and
maintainers!
1. Are the issues I've described the correct issues or did I get the
wrong root causes? Is this the right direction?
2. Is there a good way to split up this series so at least some bugs are
fixed? I kind of clumped them together because one fix revealed
another bug and so on... Is it okay to merge some patches that we're
sure fixes something and leave other bugs to be fixed separately? (If
we get to a nice fix within a few iterations we don't have to split
up the series)
