Usually, when we post patch to solve issues, or improve, we had better tell 1) what problem we encounter; 2) why the problem happened, what is the root cause after investigation and analysis; 3) how you fix it; The 1) and 2) are very important to help reviewer understand what's going on, and why this patch is needed. As you can see, in this patchset, only 3) is presented.
