This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
drm/etnaviv: Drop the offset in page manipulationto the 6.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: drm-etnaviv-drop-the-offset-in-page-manipulation.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.12 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
please drop this patch and all its dependencies from all stable queues.
While the code makes certain assumptions that are corrected in this patch, those assumptions are always true in all use-cases today. I don't see a reason to introduce this kind of churn to the stable trees to fix a theoretical issue.
Maybe in the future, for "theoretical issues", please don't put a "Fixes:" tag on them?
Agreed. This tag slipped through when I applied this patch, I'll be more careful next time.
Regards, Lucas
