I can't take stable patches for an older tree and have it "skip" newer
stable trees.  To be specific, this patch is already in the 4.19.41
release, but if I were to take it into the 4.4.y tree, then anyone
upgrading to 4.9.y or 4.14.y afterward would run into the same issue.

So can you also send backports to 4.9.y and 4.14.y so that I can take
this fix into all trees?

Same for patch 2/2.

thanks,

greg k-h
