Hi Greg, hi Sasha,
Please consider to include following fixes in to stable tree. The 6 patches from Ming was fixing a deadlock, they are included around kernel 5.3/4. Would be good to included in 4.19, we hit it during testing, with the fix we no longer hit the deadlock.
The md fixes is for a panic regarding handle flush.
the last one is simple NULL pointer deref fix.
Thanks! Jack Wang @ IONOS Cloud.
