Hi Jens,

This patch series fixes a longstanding race condition. I haven't seen
any objections to this patch series. There is at least one other patch
that conflicts with this patch series: "[PATCH v6] loop: defer the queue
limits clear to a workqueue". Please consider merging this patch series.

Thanks,

Bart.
