No, you're not. I'm missing the usual layout of the commit message
"Problem is A, we need to do B, because of C." And this particular one
needs to be pretty verbose as it is tricky lowlevel, userspace return
blabla code and I'd prefer not to have to rhyme up together myself
what's going on and what we're fixing here.
