I won't comment on the code, I'll let Chris do that. However, this
patch has a few issues that should be addressed.
1. Use line breaks in your commit message. About 70-80 characters per
line max, please.
2. The "short message" can omit "function added to", basically all
patches add some code, so this is a bit redundant. You can just say
"Check the validity ..."
3. The commit message should use "Closes #nnnn." somewhere, usually in
the end of the commit, if it is fixing/closing a ticket.
4. The commit message may be less verbose, if the extra details about
the change are already in the ticket.
5. Avoid adding extra white spaces randomly, e.g. hunk #2 of the
patch, and avoid introducing white space new lines where one exists,
creating 2 blank lines in a row.
6. You may like to try to get git-send-email to work for you. It is a
little nicer for submitting patches to mailing list.
