How do you think about a wording variant like the following?
Change description:
A data race can occur for the data structure member “flag”.
This data race was found by our concurrency fuzzer.
Thus use the spin lock “gclock” for the resetting of five
data structure members in this function implementation.
Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?
Regards,
Markus
