Hi Daniel,

I see you say you wanted the patch below for the stable tree, due to some later patch needing it, yet this patch was not "marked" for the stable tree, and I can't seem to figure out which "later patch" you are referring to here.

Any hints on what I should do for the 3.4-stable kernel tree with this?

thanks,

greg k-h

drm: add helper to clflush a virtual address range

Useful when the page is already mapped to copy date in/out.

For -stable because the next patch (fixing phys obj pwrite) needs this little helper function.

I see you say you wanted the patch below for the stable tree, due to some later patch needing it, yet this patch was not "marked" for the stable tree, and I can't seem to figure out which "later patch" you are referring to here.

Any hints on what I should do for the 3.4-stable kernel tree with this?

Oops, I've changed plans for that bug and sent a more minimal patch that simply covers over the problem rather well than fixes it 100% perfect. I've dropped the Cc: stable, bug forgot to adjust the commit message.

So this patch isn't for stable any more, sorry for wasting your time.

Yours, Daniel
