How do you think about to replace this wording by a variant like the following?

Thus use the spin lock âcache->lockâ to protect the access to
the data structure member âcachedâ in the implementation of
the function âbtrfs_block_group_doneâ.


Would you like to add the tag âFixesâ to the change description?
