The subject is very close to the related patch (plural vs non-plural):
https://lore.kernel.org/all/e4b13d7b79d1477e775c6d4564f7b23c4cf967f2.1684278538.git.gustavoars@xxxxxxxxxx/

So it might be nice to name struct hfi_session_set_buffers_pkt
specifically in the other patch's subject, but otherwise:
