If you "git commit --author='Zheng Li <...@xxxxxxxxxx>'" and then use
git send-email it will do the right thing which is $subject "CA-108294:
allow a domain ..." and then a pseudoheader in the body:
  From: Zheng Li <...@xxxxxxxxxx>

  <commit message>

  S-o-b: ...

The git tools then consume this on my end and DTRT. It also removes the
need for you to write a little preamble explaining who wrote the patch.

BTW, a shorter subject, omitting the CA-xxx and including a oxenstored:
prefix would be appreciated too.

I can do all this as I commit but it seems like you might be sending
more such patches in the future so thought I'd bring it up ;-)

The patch looks good to me, in so far as I speak ocaml so:
Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>

But I'd much prefer to have Dave's ACK too.

I think it would be appropriate (but not mandatory) for you to either
Signed-off-by, Acked-by or Reviewed-by the patch yourself since you have
forwarded it on. For forms sake and per the DCO an S-o-b should probably
be added.

typo. I can fix on commit, assuming I remember.

Ian.
