Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 3.19.6 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://git.kernel.org/ TEST CASE: TBD The following patches are in the 3.19.6 stable release: Linux 3.19.6 fs: take i_mutex during prepare_binprm for set[ug]id executables rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: Fix handling of new style descriptors mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd() mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_* staging: comedi: adv_pci1710: fix AI INSN_READ for non-zero channel KVM: nVMX: mask unrestricted_guest if disabled on L0 tg3: Hold tp->lock before calling tg3_halt() from tg3_init_one() usbnet: Fix tx_bytes statistic running backward in cdc_ncm usbnet: Fix tx_packets stat for FLAG_MULTI_FRAME drivers udptunnels: Call handle_offloads after inserting vlan tag. skbuff: Do not scrub skb mark within the same name space Revert "net: Reset secmark when scrubbing packet" bpf: fix verifier memory corruption bnx2x: Fix busy_poll vs netpoll tcp: tcp_make_synack() should clear skb->tstamp net/mlx4_core: Fix error message deprecation for ConnectX-2 cards ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range xen-netfront: transmit fully GSO-sized packets openvswitch: Return vport module ref before destruction bonding: Bonding Overriding Configuration logic restored. net: tcp6: fix double call of tcp_v6_fill_cb() tun: return proper error code from tun_do_read ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface net/mlx4_en: Call register_netdevice in the proper location rocker: handle non-bridge master change tcp: prevent fetching dst twice in early demux code ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Vivid) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Vivid) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451996 Title: Vivid update to 3.19.6 stable release Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Vivid: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Justification Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch.
