I have *absolutely* no clue what this commit message is trying to tell
me - sorry you'd have to try again. Maybe structuring it this way, would
help:

--
Problem is A.

It happens because of B.

Fix it by doing C.

(Potentially do D).

For more detailed info, see
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, Section "2) Describe your
changes".

Also, to the tone, from Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

 "Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
  instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
  to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
  its behaviour."

Also, do not talk about what your patch does - that should hopefully be
visible in the diff itself. Rather, talk about *why* you're doing what
you're doing.
