Hi Greg, While looking at the Ubuntu Xenial patches, I came across two patches from Linus, written last year around 4.6 time frame, that are used as a fix for CVE-2015-8944. The patches look stable-worthy to me, but were not backported to 4.4, hence sending for your review. Also, another patch for vlan that looks useful, if you could please review and merge to your stable tree? These have been build-tested with x86 and arm64 allmodconfig. They apply cleanly on top of 4.4.79, and are present in 4.9.y+. Best regards, Sumit.
