Look at the message when in the mailing list archive (link below) and
you'll notice the extra characters:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130094037.76895-1-chentao@kylinos.cn/raw

.. and then look at a correctly submitted patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240126104403.1040692-1-omosnace@redhat.com/raw
