Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc architecture fix for 4.16-rc6

Hi Linus,

please pull one patch for the parisc architecture from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-4.16-2

flush_cache_range() may be called without context, which then triggers a BUG().
This patch by Dave Anglin adds code to correctly handle this case.

Thanks,
Helge
