Hi Ingo-
Could you apply this one patch for 4.8? While I don't think it's a
significant security issue in 4.7 or earlier, leaving it unfixed in
4.8 will introduce a potentially unpleasant interaction with some
seccomp changes that are queued up in the
security tree for 4.8.
It will have a trivially-resolvable conflict with -mm.
The rest of the series this is in can wait.
