The Signed-off-by line should be last in the commit message, not first. First line (which becomes e-mail subject) should describe what the commit does (in a short one liner) and where it does it. So for your patch it could be something like bpf: support pointer to mem register spilling in verifier The commit message should be written in present simple tense, not past simple, ie. not "Added support" but "Add support". Also we need your name and surname in From: header and Signed-off-by: tag. So instead of giladreti <gilad.reti@xxxxxxxxx> it should be Gilad Reti <gilad.reti@xxxxxxxxx> if that is your real time. If it is not, please provide your real name.
