Re: [PATCH] md/bitmap: Fix bitmap page writing problem when using block integrity

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Jinyoung,


Thank you very much for your patch. Some minor comments, you can also 
ignore.

For the commit message summary/title you might be more specific. Maybe:

> Avoid protection error writing bitmap page with block integrity

Please add a blank line between paragraphs or do not wrap a line just 
because a sentence ends.

Add a space before the (?

Although you explained the problem well, it’d be great nevertheless if 
you could add the details of your system to the commit message.

Your From line spells it CHOI. Maybe you can update your git 
configuration to also use Choi?
