This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

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
