[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1744173] Re: rfi-flush: Switch to new linear fallback flush
Hi Juerg, > When updating to 4.4.117 we reverted a bunch of SAUCE rfi-flush patches and > replaced them with the > upstream versions. Is there a possibility that your patches are no longer > required with those updates? None of these patches seems to be integrated int 4.4.0-124. So, we will need to backport them again. I will be working to get this done. What about artful (kernel 4.13).
