Hello,
Please picked up this patch for linux 4.9 and 4.14 (linux 4.4 needs
a
small modification).
Indeed, this code will be beneficial to the GNU/Linux distributions
that
use a longterm kernel.
Thanks for doing these (and 4.4). It'll be nice to have this
available.

But it's a pleasure. Yes, because enterprise Linux distributions need
more hardening options available and they only use long-term kernels.
This is a hardening patch rather than something that addresses a known
issue, no? Why would it go into stable?
Correct. Greg has stated that he'd take backported hardening patches
if there was someone to support them. (If Loic can't commit to that, I
can.)

Just a "Cc:" tag for me because i only suggest picked up this patch for
stable.
As you may have seen, I am interested by picked up patchs in stable but
I'm new here and I prefer that my suggestions and my backports be
validated by experimented developers so as not to bother Greg with my
startup errors ^^
So yes thanks :)
