How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

   Change description:
   …
   This data race was found by our concurrency fuzzer.

   Thus use the spin lock “mp->log->gclock” for the assignment of
   the data structure member “log->cflag” to a local variable
   in this function implementation.


Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?

Markus
