My point is that backporting all this into stable 4.4 is quite intrusive
so that if we can achieve similar results with a simple fix of an
obvious omission, it would be preferrable.
There are five patches in mainline to fix this CVE, only two patches
have no effect on stable 4.4, the important reason is 4.4 use simple
queue but mainline use RB tree.

I have tried my best to use easy way to fix this with dropping packets
12.5%(or other value) based on simple queue, but the result is not
very well, so the RB tree is needed and tested result is my desire.

If we only back port two patches but they don't fix the issue, I think
they don't make any sense.
There is an obvious omission in one of the two patches and Takashi's
patch fixes it. If his follow-up fix (applied on top of what is in
stable 4.4 now) addresses the problem, I would certainly prefer using it
over backporting the whole series.
Do you mean below codes from Takashi can fix this CVE?
But I have already tested like this two days ago, it is not good effect.
IIRC what you proposed was different, you proposed to replace the "=" in
the other branch by "+=".
No, I think you don't get what I mean, I have already tested stable 4.4,
based on commit dc6ae4d, and change the codes like Takashi, which didn't
contain any codes I have sent in this patch series.

I suggest someone to test again based on Takashi.

Could you try to test with POC programme mentioned previous mail in case I made mistake?
