This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dma-buf/sw-sync: sync_pt is private and of fixed size to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dma-buf-sw-sync-sync_pt-is-private-and-of-fixed-size.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 3b52ce44e720c240afc4c4b03140d7b7811b23bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 13:59:28 +0100 Subject: dma-buf/sw-sync: sync_pt is private and of fixed size From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3b52ce44e720c240afc4c4b03140d7b7811b23bd upstream. Since sync_pt is only allocated from a single location and is no longer the base class for fences (that is struct dma_fence) it no longer needs a generic unsized allocator.
