The patch below does not apply to the 4.9-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
It's not needed for v4.9 stable tree [as pointed by tag's comment line]:
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.14+
If there is any better way to inform where a commit should be backported, please let me know.
That is correct, as this commit (13cf01744608 ("iommu/vt-d: Make use of iova deferred flushing")) did originally show up in 4.14: $ git describe --contains 13cf01744608 v4.14-rc1~72^2^14~3
But, that commit ended up in a stable release, the 4.9.104 release.
Oh. nope, crap, my fault, my scripts pick up the fact that we refer to commit 13cf01744608 in a 4.9 commit, but only the fact that it is _not_ in the 4.9.y tree.
Sorry, my fault, scripts are only so good at times.
I'll send v4.19 -stable patch shortly.. And will prepare v4.14 patch (as we don't have v4.14 release, I need to actually port it).
Thanks for doing the backport, and sorry for the 4.9.y noise, you were right here, my scripts were wrong.
