FWIW, this patch fixes a bug in ambient capabilities, which are new in 4.3. I'm not aware of any other observable effect of this patch at all, so as far as I know, it doesn't fix an actual bug in older kernels. It's Obviously Correct (TM), but it could be safely omitted from these trees. --Andy

Great, thanks. I'll just drop the patch from the 3.16 queue. Cheers, -- Luís
