Thanks.  I like this better as a single patch.

I'd probably suggest "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx".
Less important bugfixes have gone to stable...

It might be nice to enhance
  Documentation/security/credentials.rst 
to explain that the groups list is always sorted, and must be sorted
before set_groups() or set_current_groups() is called, but
as the document doesn't mention any of this at all, this is purely
an extra enhancement and doesn't need to be included in the same patch.

David: do you agree that this sort of content would be appropriate in
that file (which you apparently authored).  Would you like to update it,
or shall I?

Thanks,
NeilBrown
