Hello David, Jose,

While it says that the series was queued up for -stable, only patch 2/2:
0431100b3d82 ("net: stmmac: Fixup the tail addr setting in xmit path")
was queued up for 4.14 stable.

patch 1/2:
8fce33317023 ("net: stmmac: Rework coalesce timer and fix multi-queue races")
is missing in 4.14 stable, even though the fixes tag refers to a commit
that was first included in v4.12.

Patch 1/2 does not apply without conflicts.
However, since this fixes multi-queue races, and appears to fix the irq
coalescing implementation that has been giving us problems in the past:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/24/571
I suggest that we try to get this backported.
If the conflicts are non-trivial, perhaps Jose can help with the backport
to 4.14 stable?


Kind regards,
Niklas
