5.9.16-rc1 review

------------------
Note, I would like to make this the past, or next-to-last 5.9.y kernel to be released. If anyone knows of any reason they can not move to the 5.10.y kernel now, please let me know!
------------------

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 5.9.16 release. There are 49 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.

Responses should be made by Mon, 21 Dec 2020 12:53:29 +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-5.9.16-rc1.gz

or in the git tree and branch at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-5.9.y
