Hi Jordan,

I'm a bit confused.  This is marked as fixing commit d74bad4e74ee
("bpf: Hooks for sys_connect") and also for stable, but doesn't
(explicitly, at least) mention the prerequisite commit 0bdf399342c5
("net: Avoid address overwrite in kernel_connect") which isn't marked
for stable.  Was it forwarded to the stable team separately?

Thanks,

                Ilya
