We usually avoid filenames in the subsystem prefix. mm/gup: is sufficient.

But what's a bit more confusing is 'write variable'. You are not removing a
variable, you are removing a unused function argument. That's two different
things.

When referencing functions please use brackets so it's clear that you talk
about a function, i.e. gup_fast_permitted().

So the correct subject line would be:

Subject: [PATCH] mm/gup: Remove write argument from gup_fast_permitted()

Thanks,
