That's nice, but it doesn't really tell us what the patchset does. The
first paragraph of the [5/5] changelog provides hints, but doesn't
explain why we even need to fix a race which is "quite small and really
unlikely".

So... could we please have a few words describing the overall intent
and effect of this patchset?

Thanks.
