That's not a suitable base commit for upstream fixes (because it
brings in tip:core/locking changes destined for v3.15!) - please use
tip:core/urgent or one of Linus's -rc's.

Also, I found some more commit log problems.

1)

This:

Acked-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>
Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>

Is redundant - skip the Acked-by.

2)

This:

[sasha: Modified subject]
Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>

should in general be:

[ Modified subject. ]
Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>

Because it's obvious from the placement of the bracketed line that the
comment is from you, no need to prefix it with 'sasha:'.

But ... more importantly, small commit log edits are typical (and
expected) from maintainers - I do it for 99% of the patches that I
apply, so please only add such comments if it goes outside the usual
pattern:

- if you've written a completely new changelog (nice from you)

- or if you've resolved conflicts when applying the patch or
actually changed the code logic compared to what was submitted
(which should always be declared).

Thanks,

Ingo
