[edk2-devel] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/TerminalDxe [BUG]: Terminal fifo buffer overflow.

[Gao, Zhichao]

There is no need to add [BUG] in the title. I would remove it when I create the PR.
If you want to have a record for this bug, you can edit a Bugzilla and add the link in the commit message.
Beside of that, Reviewed-by: Zhichao Gao <zhichao.gao at intel.com>

Thanks,

> Head or Tail (UINT8), is 255. That means the last data of the data buffer would be
