Unnecessary parentheses.

Please capitalize comments - and if the comment refers to a control block please
also add ':', i.e. something like:

/* Make sure it only unwinds up and doesn't overlap the last frame: */

This also applies to other places in this patch series.

No line breaks that make the code worse please.

Ditto.

Multi-line statements should have curly braces.
