Hi Budimir, Greg, Sorry to bother again with this patch but it fixes the CVE-2023-4623 and has also been backported to all stable kernels other than v4.14 so I wonder is there a reason to skip v4.14? I removed the NL_SET_ERR_MSG call because extack is not added to hfsc_change_class in 4.14 and hope to get some confirmation if it can be applied to 4.14 tree.
