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 :)
