Hi,

Is there work needed to be done on those patches? It seems that the
approach taken by those patches is accepted at the end. Also, Vivek
Goyal has acked it.

This patch is fixing stuff [1] that got into last 'net-next' (3.17).
Should I wait for it to appear in the next 'net' and send the patchset
to 'net' or can I send it now to 'net-next'?

[1] ea1c1af ("net/mlx4_en: Reduce memory consumption on kdump kernel")
    and
    2599d85 ("net/mlx4_core: Use low memory profile on kdump kernel")

Thanks,
Amir
