Subject: [PATCH] "drivers:Fixed memory leak in /linux/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_lpss.c file.

From: LuMingYin <[email protected]>

In the lpss8250_probe function in the file /linux/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_lpss.c, there were certain return paths where pci_free_irq_vectors was not called to release memory related to pdev, leading to a memory leak. This commit fixes that issue."

Use:

git log --oneline -- drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_lpss.c

to learn what prefix you should use for shortlog (on the subject line).
Beyond the correct prefix, don't use filename in the shortlog at all.

"Fixed" -> "Fix"

"in xx file" is awfully generic, please be more specific where the leak
is.

- Wrap this properly.
- Don't write full paths like that.
- Put () into description when talking about functions.
- Use imperative language, don't use "This patch ...".

- Add Fixes tag

This label could be more specific that it's about freeing the vectors.

This patch does not fix anything. The driver uses pcim_enable_device()
which changes how this all behaves.

NAK.
