My response last November was: 'backporting this patch and it's bug fix, "ipv6: Fix handling of LLA with VRF and sockets bound to VRF" to 4.14 is a bit questionable. They definitely do not need to come back to 4.9.' Basically, my point is that this is work that was committed to 4.19-next I believe and given the state of the VRF feature over the releases, I could not confirm for 4.14 that everything works as intended. Hence, the comment about it being questionable. If you / your company are actively using and testing VRF on 4.14 and can confirm it works, then I am fine with the patch (and its bugfix) getting applied.
