The sign off was on the 4.4.y version that I cherry-picked this from.
Ah that wasn't obvious at all. What is that git commit id? You need to give us a hint as to what is going on when you do that :)
b84ec04bae905901("staging: android: ion: check for kref overflow") in 4.4.y
There was a trivial conflict moving it to 4.9, but it did not modify any changed lines, so I hadn't thought that was worth noting on the patch. I apologise if leaving the signed-off-by was incorrect here.
Why did I only apply this to 4.4 and not 4.9 when the original patch was submitted? That seems odd.
thanks,

I don't know. I had included it in the range of kernel versions it should be applied to in the original patch, and noted the minor conflict for later kernel versions. You added it in 3.18 and 4.4, and I assumed not 4.9 because of the conflict in applying the patch, so I sent this version.
b1fa6d8acb50c8e9 ("staging: android: ion: Pull out ion ioctls to a separate file") is the patch that causes the minor conflict in applying the original patch. 4c23cbff073f3b9b ("staging: android: ion: Remove import interface") is the patch that removes the affected code altogether in later kernels versions.
Ok, that makes more sense, thanks for letting me know, this was an odd one-off and I didn't remember it at all.
Now queued up.
