How do you think about a wording variant like the following? Change description: … This data race was found by our concurrency fuzzer. Thus use the spin lock “mp->log->gclock” for the assignment of the data structure member “log->cflag” to a local variable in this function implementation. Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message? Regards, Markus
