This changelog is inadequate.  It failed to describe the end-user
impact of the bug.  Without this information we cannot decide which
kernel version(s) should be patched.  Please always fully describe a
bug when fixing it.

And the title of the patch is poor.  There is no "task_failed" here. 
Something like "fix evaluation of task completion code" would be
better?
