Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] nvme: fix the deadlock in nvme_update_formats

Hi Sagi,

This one is fixing a deadlock in namespace detach. It is still not a
widely supported operation, but becoming more common. While the other two
patches in this series look good for 4.17, I would really recommend this
one for 4.16-rc, and add a Cc to linux-stable for 4.15 too. Sound okay?

Thanks,
Keith
