You seem to have dropped the commit message instead of just wrapping it.
Wrap does not mean "truncate", it just means "make sure each line stays
below 72 characters". The explanation in the commit message of v1 was
fine, the lines were just too long :)

Ah, right. Please explain this in the commit message. Also, see below:

While we're fixing this, let's make it readable as well - this could be
(with an #include <linux/math.h>):

		tx_buf->offset += round_up(nskb->len + 4, 4);
