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.

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.)
