Thanks for the patch. I'd like to point you to the
Documentation/SubmittingPatches document where is described how a proper
patch submission should look like. Most importantly I miss a Signed-off-by
line (item 12 in the document) - without it the patch cannot be merged.
Also your description in the subject is inaccurate. In my opinion it should
rather be:
ext2: Fixup description of ext2_find_entry
Finally, it's easier to handle submitted patches with git tools when the
body of email looks like:
Something I want in the changelog additionally to mail subject line
(probably empty in your case).
---
Something that I want to say but should not end up in the changelog.

Patch.

Seeing that you have probably generated your patch from git, git
format-patch and git send-email are useful commands for submitting patches
via email.
