The patch

   spi: loopback-test: add option to use vmalloc'ed buffers

has been applied to the spi tree at

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git 

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.  

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [PATCH] spi: loopback-test: add option to use vmalloc'ed buffers

Using vmalloc'ed buffers will use one SG entry for each page,
that may provoke DMA errors for large transfers.
Also vmalloc'ed buffers may cause errors on CPU's with VIVT cache.
Add this option to catch these errors when testing.
Note that to catch VIVT cache errors, checking the rx range
has to be disabled, so this option has been added as well.
