How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

Thus check the data structure member âsk_shutdownâ (suggested by Stefano)
after a call of the function âlock_sockâ since this field is set to
âSHUTDOWN_MASKâ under the protection of âlock_sock_nestedâ.


Would you like to add the tag âFixesâ to the commit message?
