At the request of the reporter, the Linux kernel security team offers to
postpone the publishing of a fix for up to 5 business days from the date
of a report.

While it is generally undesirable to keep a fix private after it has
been developed, this short window is intended to allow distributions to
package the fix into their kernel builds and permits early inclusion of
the security team in the case of a co-ordinated disclosure with other
parties. Unfortunately, discussions with major Linux distributions and
cloud providers has revealed that 5 business days is not sufficient to
achieve either of these two goals.

As an example, cloud providers need to roll out KVM security fixes to a
global fleet of hosts with sufficient early ramp-up and monitoring. An
end-to-end timeline of less than two weeks dramatically cuts into the
amount of early validation and increases the chance of guest-visible
regressions.

The consequence of this timeline mismatch is that security issues are
commonly fixed without the involvement of the Linux kernel security team
and are instead analysed and addressed by an ad-hoc group of developers
across companies contributing to Linux. In some cases, mainline (and
therefore the official stable kernels) can be left to languish for
extended periods of time. This undermines the Linux kernel security
process and puts upstream developers in a difficult position should they
find themselves involved with an undisclosed security problem that they
are unable to report due to restrictions from their employer.

To accommodate the needs of these users of the Linux kernel and
encourage them to engage with the Linux security team when security
issues are first uncovered, extend the maximum period for which fixes
may be delayed to 7 calendar days, or 14 calendar days in exceptional
cases, where the logistics of QA and large scale rollouts specifically
need to be accommodated. This brings parity with the linux-distros@
maximum embargo period of 14 calendar days.

Devices connected under Terminus Technology Inc. Hub (1a40:0101) may
fail to work after the system resumes from suspend:
[  206.063325] usb 3-2.4: reset full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd

[  206.351671] usb 3-2.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32

Info for this hub:
T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#=  2 Spd=480 MxCh= 4
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=01 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1

Some expirements indicate that the USB devices connected to the hub are
innocent, it's the hub itself is to blame. The hub needs extra delay
time after it resets its port.

Hence wait for extra delay, if the device is connected to this quirky
hub.

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "The biggest part of this pull request is the revert of the blkcg
  cleanup series. It had one fix earlier for a stacked device issue, but
  another one was reported. Rather than play whack-a-mole with this,
  revert the entire series and try again for the next kernel release.

  Apart from that, only small fixes/changes.

  Summary:

   - Indentation fixup for mtip32xx (Colin Ian King)

   - The blkcg cleanup series revert (Dennis Zhou)

   - Two NVMe fixes. One fixing a regression in the nvme request
     initialization in this merge window, causing nvme-fc to not work.
     The other is a suspend/resume p2p resource issue (James, Keith)

   - Fix sg discard merge, allowing us to merge in cases where we didn't
     before (Jianchao Wang)

   - Call rq_qos_exit() after the queue is frozen, preventing a hang
     (Ming)

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "The biggest part of this pull request is the revert of the blkcg
  cleanup series. It had one fix earlier for a stacked device issue, but
  another one was reported. Rather than play whack-a-mole with this,
  revert the entire series and try again for the next kernel release.

  Apart from that, only small fixes/changes.

  Summary:

   - Indentation fixup for mtip32xx (Colin Ian King)

   - The blkcg cleanup series revert (Dennis Zhou)

   - Two NVMe fixes. One fixing a regression in the nvme request
     initialization in this merge window, causing nvme-fc to not work.
     The other is a suspend/resume p2p resource issue (James, Keith)

   - Fix sg discard merge, allowing us to merge in cases where we didn't
     before (Jianchao Wang)

   - Call rq_qos_exit() after the queue is frozen, preventing a hang
     (Ming)

   - Fix brd queue setup, fixing an oops if we fail setting up all
     devices (Ming)"

This reverts a series committed earlier due to null pointer exception
bug report in [1]. It seems there are edge case interactions that I did
not consider and will need some time to understand what causes the
adverse interactions.

The original series can be found in [2] with a follow up series in [3].

Let's document the magic a bit, especially why device_hotplug_lock is
required when adding/removing memory and how it all play together with
requests to online/offline memory from user space.
