I guess the proper form of the changelog is. Thanks for the backport!

Subject: [PATCH] s390/mm: fix gmap tlb flush issues
commit f045402984404ddc11016358411e445192919047 upstream.
__tlb_flush_asce() should never be used if multiple asce belong to a mm.
As this function changes mm logic determining if local or global tlb
flushes will be neded, we might end up flushing only the gmap asce on all
CPUs and a follow up mm asce flushes will only flush on the local CPU,
although that asce ran on multiple CPUs.
The missing tlb flushes will provoke strange faults in user space and even
low address protections in user space, crashing the kernel.
[schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx: backport to 4.4, handle moved files]
Fixes: 1b948d6caec4 ("s390/mm,tlb: optimize TLB flushing for zEC12")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 3.15+
