Hi Mikulas,
Agreed and thanks for fixing.
Has this been selected for stable because of:
6fc45b6ed921 ("dm-delay: fix a race between delay_presuspend and delay_bio")
If so, I would volunteer do the backports for that for you at least.
I wouldn't backport this patch - it is an enhancement, not a bugfix, so it
doesn't qualify for the stable kernel backports.
Right - this watch was selected as a dependency for 6fc45b6ed921
("dm-delay: fix a race between delay_presuspend and delay_bio").
In general, unless it's impractical, we'd rather take a dependency chain
rather than deal with a non-trivial backport as those tend to have
issues longer term.
