Thank you for your efforts!

However, I was able to cherry-pick this series, which is already merged in
4.4.y, to 4.9.y without conflicts.

    $ git checkout stable/linux-4.9.y -b xsa349_4.9
    $ git cherry-pick d8b0d52e408ca..3c71d2f637c8

Seems you tried to merge the series for upstream in 4.9.y:

    https://lore.kernel.org/stable/1609154834239118@kroah.com/

This must because I didn't test this series with v4.9 and mention it.  Sorry
for making a confusion.  Could you please check this again?


Thanks,
