** Description changed:

  SRU Justification
  
  [Impact]
  
  * Request from Microsoft to address potential memory coherence issue in
  MANA driver where memory read in DMA-coherent region is read twice and
  could possibly change between invocations. Rather, the memory should be
  read into a local variable, and passed to the second function by
  parameter, rather than re-reading from memory.
  
  [Fix]
  
- * Resolute:
-   - Clean cherry-pick of linux-next patches:
-     -         35f0f0a2536a: "net: mana: Fix TOCTOU double-fetch of hwc_msg_id 
from DMA buffer"
+ * Clean cherry-pick of linux-next patches:
+     -         35f0f0a2536a: "net: mana: Fix TOCTOU double-fetch of hwc_msg_id 
from DMA buffer"
  
  [Test Plan]
  
  * Compile tested
  * Boot tested
  * Microsoft tested
  
  [Regression potential]
  
  * Patches isolated to MANA specifically. Possibly regression could
  result in unexpected behavior of MANA driver.
  
  [Other info]
