+    for (p = list, i = 0; i < cnt; i++, p = p->next) {

Here "i" can reach "cnt - 1" at most, so ...

+        if (i == cnt) {
+            /* clean-up unused elements if any */
+            free_commit_list(p->next);
+            p->next = NULL;
+        }

... "i == cnt" is always false above. I think it should be "i == cnt - 1".

And with your code one can wonder why the cleanup is part of the loop.

Could you send it inline as explained in Documentation/SubmittingPatches?

Thanks,
