Does it potentially cause an OOPS? Bad reference counting and thus potential leaks or early frees? You have to analyze the implications and ramifications of the bug being fixed. We need that information. Your commit messages are in fact robotic, they don't describe the salient details of what kinds of problems the bug being fixed might cause. It's just "bad error code, this is the script that fixed it, kthx, bye" which is pretty much useless for anaylsis. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
