See Documentation/SubmittingPatches, section '(5) Sign your work'
for what this means.

If you just forgot to sign off, that's fine and I can forge it or go
without.  If you are unable to sign off because you don't have the
right to submit the change under an open source license, I'd be a bit
worried going forward.

That's fine with me.

After this patch, the code looks like

	if (!defined $entry->{$check}) {
		log_debug(...);
	} elsif (defined $query->{$check}) {
		...
	} else {
		log_debug(...);
	}

As a small nit, wouldn't it be more readable with the two !defined()
cases together?

	if (!defined $entry->{$check}) {
		...
	} elsif (!defined $query->{$check}) {
		...
	} else {
		...
	}

Thanks again.
