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 4.4.72 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 4.4.72 stable release shall be applied:
* bnx2x: Fix Multi-Cos
* ipv6: xfrm: Handle errors reported by xfrm6_find_1stfragopt()
* cxgb4: avoid enabling napi twice to the same queue
* tcp: disallow cwnd undo when switching congestion control
* vxlan: fix use-after-free on deletion
* ipv6: Fix leak in ipv6_gso_segment().
* net: ping: do not abuse udp_poll()

  bits to 64 bits on 64-bit platforms
