This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 6.9.4 release.
There are 368 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one.  If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.

Responses should be made by Tue, 11 Jun 2024 11:36:08 +0000.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
    https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/stable-review/patch-6.9.4-rc2.gz
or in the git tree and branch at:
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-6.9.y
and the diffstat can be found below.

Maybe it was noted somewhere already, but I was forced by our machinery to include this too:
+Subject: tcp: reduce accepted window in NEW_SYN_RECV state
+Git-commit: f4dca95fc0f6350918f2e6727e35b41f7f86fcce
+Patch-mainline: 6.10-rc2
+
+Jason commit made checks against ACK sequence less strict
+and can be exploited by attackers to establish spoofed flows
+with less probes.

which makes sense to me.

Forget about this, you dropped 378979e94e953c207 in -rc2 in:
commit f11c1a69cc6b202f454d5e585b6917ce2873bcc9
