I like this better as a single patch. I'd probably suggest "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org". Less important bugfixes have gone to stable... It might be nice to enhance Documentation/security/credentials.rst to explain that the groups list is always sorted, and must be sorted before set_groups() or set_current_groups() is called, but as the document doesn't mention any of this at all, this is purely an extra enhancement and doesn't need to be included in the same patch. David: do you agree that this sort of content would be appropriate in that file (which you apparently authored). Would you like to update it, or shall I?
