Target Stable Tree Branch: 4.9.y
Why this patch is needed: Due to a request to handle CVE-2017-17741, we would need to backport this patch to our kernel. The patch is already in mainline:https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e39d200fa5bf5b94a0948db0dae44c1b73b84a56
Could you please include this patch in 4.9.y stable tree branch?

Why only this specific branch? Why not all stable branches? You do not
want to move from 4.9.y to 4.14.y and have a regression, right?
What about 4.4.y?

What is "our kernel"?

Have you looked at the recent 4.9-rc release already and tested it out
to see if it works properly for you for this issue?
thanks,
