Hmm... I sent an answer to your points, but I can't see it at:

	https://lore.kernel.org/all/160e613f-a0a8-18ff-5d4b-249d4280caa8@linux.intel.com/

Maybe it got lost somewhere, I dunno.

Yeah, indeed the fixes tag on patch 5/6 should be removed as this is not
directly related to changeset 7938d61591d3. Yet, this one is required for
patch 6 to work.

The other patches on this series, though, are modifying the code 
introduced by changeset 7938d61591d3.

Patch 2 is clearly a workaround needed for TLB cache invalidation to
work on some GPUs. So, while not related to Broadwell, they're also
fixing some TLB cache issues. So, IMO, it should keep the fixes.

I tried to port just the two serialize patches to drm-tip, in order
to solve the issues on Broadwell, but it didn't work, as the logic 
inside the spinlock could be calling schedule() with a spinlock hold:

I didn't investigate the root cause, but it seems related to PM, so 
patches 1 and 3 seem to be required for the serialization logic
to actually work.

So, I would keep the Fixes: tag mentioning changeset 7938d61591d3
on patches: 1, 2, 3 and 6.

Yet, IMO the entire series should be merged on -stable.

If that's OK for you and there's no additional issues to be
addressed, I'll submit a v2 of this series removing the Fixes tag
from patches 4 and 5.

Regards,
Mauro
