No need to line-wrap for stuff like this.

Please read the documentation for how to properly add a Fixes: line
(hint, your sha1 isn't big enough.)

And does this really "fix" a commit that chnaged the coding style?  I
doubt that...

Where did you pick 5 seconds from?  Are you sure that will work
properly?  What about devices with very long i/o stalls when data is
being flushed out, are you sure this will not trigger there?

So this is cancelled, but how does userspace know the error happened and
it was a timeout?
