How do you prefer it to be handled? KCM one should go into everything since 4.6 (with trivial modifications in 4.11 and 4.12 - both had massaged the place around the call of kcm_clone() a bit, but this fix overwrites the entire area and that can be dropped into earlier kernels without any problems). I've put that into vfs.git#net-fixes and have the other two in vfs.git#for-davem on top of that, with you merging the latter into net-next.git and the former - into net.git. Is that OK with you, or would you prefer some other way of handling that kind of stuff?
