This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 5.3.18 release. There are 25 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.

Note, this is the LAST 5.3.y kernel to be released, after this one, it will be end-of-life. You should have moved to the 5.4.y series already by now.

Responses should be made by Thu, 19 Dec 2019 20:08:42 +0000. Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/stable-review/patch-5.3.18-rc1.... or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-5.3.y and the diffstat can be found below.
