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.
