I'm sort of surprised how many of my patches make it back to stable kernels. I suspect it's because my patches are one liners which are easy to apply. Maybe Sasha's machine learning system just likes the way I write commit messages.

Your patches are usually:

1. Real fixes
2. The commit message clearly indicates they are clear fixes
3. The code is very short and has a construct which is similar to other fixes (usually adds a NULL check and such)
