Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

    Impact:
       The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar
       in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to
       demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream
       by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or
       a minimally backported form of that patch. The v4.4.18 upstream stable
       patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
       kernel as well.

       git://git.kernel.org/

    TEST CASE: TBD

       The following patches from the v4.4.18 stable release shall be
applied:

tcp: enable per-socket rate limiting of all 'challenge acks'
ipv4: reject RTNH_F_DEAD and RTNH_F_LINKDOWN from user space
bonding: set carrier off for devices created through netlink
net: bgmac: Fix infinite loop in bgmac_dma_tx_add()
net/irda: fix NULL pointer dereference on memory allocation failure
qed: Fix setting/clearing bit in completion bitmap
tcp: consider recv buf for the initial window scale
ipath: Restrict use of the write() interface
scsi: ignore errors from scsi_dh_add_device()
HID: sony: do not bail out when the sixaxis refuses the output report
i2c: i801: Allow ACPI SystemIO OpRegion to conflict with PCI BAR
arm: oabi compat: add missing access checks
KEYS: 64-bit MIPS needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace
Revert "s390/kdump: Clear subchannel ID to signal non-CCW/SCSI IPL"
random: strengthen input validation for RNDADDTOENTCNT
devpts: clean up interface to pty drivers
x86/mm/pat: Add support of non-default PAT MSR setting
x86/mm/pat: Add pat_disable() interface
x86/mm/pat: Replace cpu_has_pat with boot_cpu_has()
x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions
x86/mtrr: Fix PAT init handling when MTRR is disabled
x86/xen, pat: Remove PAT table init code from Xen
x86/pat: Document the PAT initialization sequence
x86/mm/pat: Fix BUG_ON() in mmap_mem() on QEMU/i386
drm/i915: Pretend cursor is always on for ILK-style WM calculations (v2)
x86/syscalls/64: Add compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace
block: fix use-after-free in seq file
sysv, ipc: fix security-layer leaking
fuse: fsync() did not return IO errors
fuse: fuse_flush must check mapping->flags for errors
fuse: fix wrong assignment of ->flags in fuse_send_init()
fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()
crypto: gcm - Filter out async ghash if necessary
crypto: scatterwalk - Fix test in scatterwalk_done
ext4: check for extents that wrap around
ext4: fix deadlock during page writeback
ext4: don't call ext4_should_journal_data() on the journal inode
ext4: validate s_reserved_gdt_blocks on mount
ext4: short-cut orphan cleanup on error
ext4: fix reference counting bug on block allocation error
mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs
mm: memcontrol: fix swap counter leak on swapout from offline cgroup
mm: memcontrol: fix memcg id ref counter on swap charge move
Linux 4.4.18
