> Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86:kernel:e820c:kmemdup instead of duplicating its function
The tip tree preferred format for patch subject prefixes is
'subsys/component:', e.g. 'x86/apic:', 'x86/mm/fault:', 'sched/fair:',
'genirq/core:'. Please do not use file names or complete file paths as
prefix. 'git log path/to/file' should give you a reasonable hint in most
cases.
The condensed patch description in the subject line should start with a
uppercase letter and should be written in imperative tone.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm guessing your name is "Huang Zijiang" and you'd like to have it this
way in git history, instead with small letters and with a dot inbetween?

This is not a correct english sentence. Please try again.
