Yeah, I think we did get a little crossed up there.
No, grep and compiling changes are fundamentals
before submitting trivial patches.
What I meant was I had done the grep (and compile
allyesconfig/allmodconfig of the files that use
module_put_and_exit) before sending the patch.
I don't think those are important details for a
commit message.
Dunno if you noticed that I attached the grep results
in my 1st reply.
Sometimes I do put details below the separator
--- line after the signed-off-by.
(I'll also admit I've sent patches without doing
the appropriate checks and screwed them up.

No worries. Unfamiliarity also does have its own
set of issues. No problems on my side. Hope you
don't any any this way either.
