(This is not a review, just a friendly reminder about patch ettiquette)

Does this cause a kernel crash?

Please use the imperative in git commit titles - It is easier to
understand the evolution of the code in git logs when commits have
clear titles like "Fix null dereference in conntrack". It is also
helpful to include the potential impact of the change in the commit
message (ie, kernel crash? memory leak? etc.). The "why" is more
important in the commit message than the "what" - the "what" is
already stated in the code.

Linus wrote some good patch commit message guidelines here:

Thanks,
