I got an identical message on May 2nd that this patch was added to the 
4.16 and 4.14 stable trees. Now there is a small but important fix to 
this patch so I CC'd it to stable assuming that this patch was already 
in those versions.

Fix is "drm/vmwgfx: Set dmabuf_size_when vmw_dmabuf_init is successful" 
by Deepak Rawat.

It's correct to have both this patch and its fix in stable.

Thanks,
Thomas

Thanks for letting me know.  The original set of patches all got dropped
due to problems with the larger patch series.

But I can't seem find the above mentioned patch in Linus's git tree, do
you know what the git commit id is for it?

thanks,
