Hello David,

Unless I'm doing something wrong, it seems this patch has only been 
applied to the newest
kernel:

    Git/linux-stable$ git tag -l --contains 
4a7d99ea1b27734558feb6833f180cd38a159940
    v4.7-rc6

How can we get this critical fix applied to the other stable kernel 
versions?  I would really hate
to depend on all the various Distro packagers to miss on picking this up 
as this is a critical
toxicity fix.

A socket connection made in ax.25 is not closed when session is
completed.  The heartbeat timer is stopped prematurely and this is
where the socket gets closed. Allow heatbeat timer to run to close
socket. Symptom occurs in kernels >= 4.2.0
