I got an identical message on May 2nd that this patch was added to the
4.16 and 4.14 stable trees. Now there is a small but important fix to
this patch so I CC'd it to stable assuming that this patch was already
in those versions.
Fix is "drm/vmwgfx: Set dmabuf_size_when vmw_dmabuf_init is successful"
by Deepak Rawat.
It's correct to have both this patch and its fix in stable.
Thanks,
Thomas
