I submitted it to stable instead of this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/3/177 That find by Roman discovered that even though NET_DMA was marked broken we were still attempting to pin pages for dma offload. So rather than apply the band-aid to fix that leak plus another band-aid to disable pinning I decided it would be better to kill the whole thing with fire properly. I can make a smaller patch to add ifdef NET_DMA around the code that should not live. NET_DMA depends on BROKEN in -stable. -- Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
