The patch titled scsi: megaraid_sas - replace pci_alloc_consitent with dma_alloc_coherent in ioctl path has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was scsi-megaraid_sas-replace-pci_alloc_consitent-with-dma_alloc_coherent-in-ioctl-path.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: scsi: megaraid_sas - replace pci_alloc_consitent with dma_alloc_coherent in ioctl path From: Sumant Patro <sumantp@xxxxxxxx> Replaced pci_alloc_consistent with dma_alloc_coherent from the ioctl path. This is to avoid situations where ioctl fails for lack of memory (when system under heavy stress).
