I'd imagine that at minimum, the team in charge of patching the vulnerability would need to review how the exploit works.

id imagine that they received more than just the poc in the report they received

That doesn't make reviewing the POC any less valuable.

what value do you believe renaming the variable from "g" to something else provides the linux maintainers?

[Xirdus]

It makes the exploit code more readable. We all love to laugh at C folks but for real, even Linux kernel maintainers care about readability.
