1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and
interface") was August 2018, so I don't think "recent" applies here?

I didn't look closely, but it appears that the sctp procfs file is
world-readable.  So we gave unprivileged userspace the ability to leak
kernel memory?

So I'm thinking that we aim for 5.12-rc1 on all three patches with a cc:stable?  
I'd rather take the sctp patch sooner, we'll send another batch 
of networking fixes for 5.11, anyway. Would that be okay with you?  
Sure.
Applied patch 3 to net, thanks everyone!
