Currently the limit for the subject is 60 which is to short if a fix reverts a kernel commit.
Furthermore the 75 char limit is enforced on the body with no exemption.
Thus properly formatted commits following the kernel style are failing the CI check.
- Subject limit should be increased
Fixes: should be exempt in body from 75 char limit to match kernel workflow.
From the kernel documentation [1]:
If your patch fixes a bug in a specific commit, e.g. you found an issue using git bisect, please use the ‘Fixes:’ tag with at least the first 12 characters of the SHA-1 ID, and the one line summary. Do not split the tag across multiple lines, tags are exempt from the “wrap at 75 columns” rule in order to simplify parsing scripts. For example:
Fixes: 54a4f0239f2e ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return the number of pages it actually freed")
