Re: [PATCH 0/10] iommu/vt-d: Fix intel vt-d faults in kdump kernel

From: Li, ZhenHua
Date: Mon Jan 05 2015 - 21:05:45 EST


Thank you very much for your help.

I have found there are several places need flush, and I will send a new
version
of this patchset with the flush functions.

Regards
Zhenhua
