I don't think the Fixes: tag should have the surrounding single quotes.
At least the Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst file
doesn't show it that way.

I don't normally nitpick local variables names, but this one follows the
wrong convention.  In all the cases I've seen, "tx" means "transmit",
and "rx" means "receive", usually for network code.   My brain
instinctively parses the above as "max transmit bytes", which
seems weird in this context.  "xfer" is usually the short form of
"transfer", so "max_xfer_bytes".

Outside of the "net" area, multi-line comments should start with a
blank "/*" line, like is done below.
