where you wrote in kernel tree commit
347a444e687b5f8cf0f6485704db1c6024d3:
This is a bug. The array should contain 2 elements. Here is the fix.
If I'm not completely off the track, you both committed a description
off by one error: since the patch doesn't change the array size, it's
presumely¹ still 3 elements, where index 2 references the last one.
Here's hopefully a better patch description:
Fixed off by one thinko in stats accounting, spotted by Coverity
checker, notified by Adrian "The Cleanman" Bunk.
SCR,
Pete
¹) otherwise, it's still off by one..
