Hi Mikulas, Agreed and thanks for fixing. Has this been selected for stable because of: 6fc45b6ed921 ("dm-delay: fix a race between delay_presuspend and delay_bio") If so, I would volunteer do the backports for that for you at least.
I wouldn't backport this patch - it is an enhancement, not a bugfix, so it doesn't qualify for the stable kernel backports.
Right - this watch was selected as a dependency for 6fc45b6ed921 ("dm-delay: fix a race between delay_presuspend and delay_bio").
In general, unless it's impractical, we'd rather take a dependency chain rather than deal with a non-trivial backport as those tend to have issues longer term.
