[Quick, drive-by observation:]

Can I add that the commit message also seems way too long?

I think some of the description of the problem symptom could probably
be after the tearoff -- there doesn't seem to be a clear statement of
what is actually wrong in the code, or of why the change made in the
patch fixes it (or if there is, I struggled to find it.)

I puzzled over this for some minutes before I figured out this patch is
fixing something that is not upstream, yet.  A statement to that effect
would have helped.

Possibly I didn't read carefully enough...

Cheers
