Beautifully explained. There are many styles of patch review, and I'd personally call this "think aloud to follow the patch author's flow of thought." style. Your review is probably one of the best examples of reviews in the style. Very readable, helping readers to reach the same degree of understanding of what problem the patch tries to address and how, and demonostrates the reviewer thought through the problem just as deeply as the patch author, all of which gives weight to the final "looks correct to me". Thanks, both. Will queue.
