SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] ib umem: bugfix: mixed put_pid()s in ib_umem_get()
Hi, Leon,

1. I do change the title except for the version number itself:) But my English
is quite bad, maybe the title is still quite stupid. I can update it according
to your advice.

2. I catched the bug by reading the final code, not by bisect-ing the old
commit. Do you means I should find out which commit introducing the bug? It will
not be easily to say which it is because it is a "missing bug", rather than a
"introduced bug". Indicate the commit may not help to remove a patch/commit from
the stable tree.

Could you please give more suggestion? Thanks.
