This makes it impossible to scan the subject lines and have some idea what area a commit makes changes. I would really suggest that you use a subject prefix that references the driver or subsystem, so for this one: Subject: [PATCH N/M] infiniband: Use rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL instead) of RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) and likewise for all of your other patches.
