I suggest to improve also this change description.

  The query to the request list was added before ib_nl_snd_msg()
  by the commit 3ebd2fd0d011 ("…").

Please reconsider the word wrapping.

  To handle the case where a response is received before we could set
  this flag, the response handler waits for the flag to be set
  before proceeding with the query.


Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?
