From: James Morse james.morse@arm.com Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2017 18:44:27 +0000 Subject: ACPI / APEI: Remove arch_apei_flush_tlb_one()
From: James Morse james.morse@arm.com
commit 4a75aeacda3c2455954596593d89187df5420d0a upstream.
Nothing calls arch_apei_flush_tlb_one() anymore, instead relying on __set_pte_vaddr() to do the invalidation when called from clear_fixmap() Remove arch_apei_flush_tlb_one().

Dropped from all stable queues now. Why was this even a stable patch at all anyway? It doesn't fix anything...

It looks like this series picked up a 'Cc: All applicable stable@vger.kernel.org' along the way. (Rafael?)
The first patch fixed the problem, the rest were clean-up, code we no longer needed and hooks that had no more users in v4.14.
I can provide backports back to v4.13, which is when arm64 got APEI support, but before then I have nothing to test it on...
Can I suggest dropping this series from the stable trees? (do you need me to reply to each email?)
Thanks,
James

As I don't see "patch series" in stable submissions given that it's just a bunch of patches out of order, yes, please respond to any patch that I have applied that you do not want to see applied.
