Note, this is going to be the LAST 5.8.y kernel release. After this one, this branch is now end-of-life. Please move to the 5.9.y branch at this point in time.
This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 5.8.18 release. There are 70 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
Responses should be made by Mon, 02 Nov 2020 11:34:42 +0000. Anything received after that time might be too late.
The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/stable-review/patch-5.8.18-rc1.... or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-5.8.y and the diffstat can be found below.

NOTE: LTP version upgrade to 20200930. Due to this change we have noticed few test failures and fixes which are not related to kernel changes.
