The filename of the patch is: net-refactor-bind_bucket-fastreuse-into-helper.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from tim.froidcoeur@tessares.net are

Thank you for backporting this patch!
It seems the backport of the companion patch -- d76f3351cea2 ("net: initialize fastreuse on inet_inherit_port") -- was lost somewhere for 4.14 version. It was backported in all other newer stable versions: 5.8, 5.7, 5.4, 4.19 but not in 4.14. The patch backported here is a preparation for the real fix which is the missing patch.
I guess the intention is to backport d76f3351cea2 to v4.14 as well. If not, this refactoring is maybe not needed :)
Ugh, that was my fault, thanks for catching this. I've now queued this up to 4.14.y.
