Hi,

Please apply [1] to stable 5.8.9+, as it fixed nvme-loop connecting failure issue[2].

[1] 64d452b3560b nvme-loop: set ctrl state connecting after init

[2] https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linux-stable-mirror/2020-September/216482...

So the "Fixes:" tag in the commit lies?

I would like to get an ack from the maintainers/developers on that patch before I queue it up.

This went in citing the wrong git hash, our mistake.

Actually, the cited offending commit had a fixes tag itself that goes back further[1]... Which means that this needs to go with that, what's the procedure to take this along with that one?

has: Fixes: 35897b920c8a ("nvme-fabrics: fix and refine state checks in __nvmf_check_ready")

I don't understand, is there some other commit you also want backported? If so, just let us know what it is, and how far back to take it.

thanks,
