You've described the code change you made, not about the problem you hit and are fixing. i.e. I've got no idea how you found this, or even how to identify a system that is tripping over this problem. By describing how you found it and the symptoms being displayed, I'll learn from you how to identify the problem and hence, in future, be able to identify systems that are tripping over the problem, too. > Fixes: 0d485ada404b ("xfs: use generic percpu counters for free block counter") I really don't like this sort of "annotation". It wrongly implies the commit was broken (it wasn't) and there's no scope for stating the problem context. i.e. that the problem is a minor regression in a rarely travelled corner case that is unlikely to affect production machines in any significant way. It's better to describe things with all the relevant context: "This is a regression introduced in commit ... and only occurs when ....

Usually I will describe the symptoms, how I hit the problem and the reproducer in commit log in details, but this time I found this bug by code inspection, I don't have these information. I should have mentioned this info too. > > > Fixes: 0d485ada404b ("xfs: use generic percpu counters for free block counter") > > I really don't like this sort of "annotation".

OK. Thanks for the review! Eryu

It's a big grey area, though, so I think you should check with your legal department as to what you should use here. Cheers, Dave.

"blocks" should be added back to fdblocks at undo time, not taken away, i.e. the minus sign should not be used.
