On error we jumped to the error label and returned the error code but we
missed releasing sinfo.

Should the From: and Signed-off-by: email addresses be the same?

I think 2 years back I had a long discussion with Greg about this and
since then I al submitting patches like this. A small summayg of the
problem from that discussion:

"we have strict DMARC check for the corporate mail server. DMARC =
domain based message authentication.
So the mail i sent reached all the list subscriber from a different
server than our designated server, and as a result it is marked as spam
in many places and I have already received a few complaints regarding
that."

You can add a separate "From:" line to the beginning of the commit log
and git will use it then commiting the patch. I didn't find any
documention but it's easy to do and should solve this.

Documentation is not needed. :)
I have done that couple of time.
I will resend this patch with the extra From: line.
