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
queue-4.14/net-refactor-bind_bucket-fastreuse-into-helper.patch
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.
Thank you for having added it!
All these backported patches look good to me!
Cheers, Matt
