Cap at 72 char line length... And title should start with "block, bfq: ".
And should be "add NULL check", singular, see below.

This tag is wrong, should be a shortened sha and the format is also
wrong (Fixed vs Fixes).

You're killing the empty line between variables and the comment. And why
is a_idx being moved? This is !bic being NULL, presumably?
