As I've said many times in the past, I've never rejected a patch because the patch description was too verbose, but I have rejected patches where the description hasn't provided enough useful information.
I would really like to see the commit description show an example where you setup/load/etc. the event into the kernel, trigger and capture the event information, and then show how the event output can be parsed/processed into something meaningful by a user. I'm essentially looking for a "hello world" version of the SELinux tracepoint, does that make sense?
