Subject: [GIT PULL] s390 patches for 4.11-rc8/final

Hi Linus,

please pull from the 'for-linus' branch of

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git for-linus

to receive the following updates:

There is one more fix I would like to see in 4.11. The combination
of KVM, CMMA and heavy paging can cause data corruption, the fix
is to clear the _PAGE_UNUSED bit in set_pte_at.

Christian Borntraeger (1):
      s390/mm: fix CMMA vs KSM vs others
