I suggest to improve the commit message.

* Wording alternative:
  to a crash when we access vma->vm_mm (its offset is 0x40) in

* Can a function name be nicer than the information “at 0000000000000040”
  in the patch subject?

* Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the change description?

Regards,
Markus
