Well that's hard to tell as I have no idea when and what kind of breakage
was seen :)

I'd say with up-to-date kernels it shouldn't happen and that's the
point Masahiro-san made here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/12/678

Ok will do that. But why do we have 2 lines below:
------------------------------>8--------------------------
do_compile ()
{                                                                                                                                               
}
------------------------------>8--------------------------
