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 v4.2.5 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 v4.2.5 stable release: net/ibm/emac: bump version numbers for correct work with ethtool l2tp: protect tunnel->del_work by ref_count af_unix: Convert the unix_sk macro to an inline function for type safety af_unix: return data from multiple SKBs on recv() with MSG_PEEK flag net/unix: fix logic about sk_peek_offset skbuff: Fix skb checksum flag on skb pull skbuff: Fix skb checksum partial check. net: dsa: fix preparation of a port STP update inet: fix races in reqsk_queue_hash_req() net: add pfmemalloc check in sk_add_backlog() ppp: don't override sk->sk_state in pppoe_flush_dev() inet: fix race in reqsk_queue_unlink() bpf: fix panic in SO_GET_FILTER with native ebpf programs ovs: do not allocate memory from offline numa node act_mirred: clear sender cpu before sending to tx bpf: clear sender_cpu before xmit ipv6: Don't call with rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev ethtool: Use kcalloc instead of kmalloc for ethtool_get_strings tipc: move fragment importance field to new header position netlink: Trim skb to alloc size to avoid MSG_TRUNC drm: Fix locking for sysfs dpms file crypto: sparc - initialize blkcipher.ivsize crypto: camellia_aesni_avx - Fix CPU feature checks crypto: ahash - ensure statesize is non-zero memcg: convert threshold to bytes btrfs: check unsupported filters in balance arguments btrfs: fix use after free iterating extrefs arm64: errata: use KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE for erratum #843419 ARM: ux500: simplify secondary CPU boot nfsd/blocklayout: accept any minlength mfd: max77843: Fix max77843_chg_init() return on error i2c: rcar: enable RuntimePM before registering to the core i2c: s3c2410: enable RuntimePM before registering to the core i2c: designware: Do not use parameters from ACPI on Dell Inspiron 7348 i2c: designware-platdrv: enable RuntimePM before registering to the core workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu KVM: x86: clean up kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable KVM: x86: fix SMI to halted VCPU KVM: x86: fix RSM into 64-bit protected mode drm/qxl: fix framebuffer dirty rectangle tracking. drm/nouveau/fbcon: take runpm reference when userspace has an open fd drm/dp/mst: make mst i2c transfer code more robust. drm/radeon: attach tile property to mst connector drm/radeon: add pm sysfs files late drm/amdgpu: add pm sysfs files late drm/amdgpu: fix num_crtc on CZ drm/amdgpu: check before checking pci bridge registers drm/amdgpu: Keep the pflip interrupts always enabled v7 dm thin: fix missing pool reference count decrement in pool_ctr error path rbd: fix double free on rbd_dev->header_name timekeeping: Increment clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_init() pinctrl: imx25: ensure that a pin with id i is at position i in the info array arm64: Fix THP protection change logic svcrdma: handle rdma read with a non-zero initial page offset Linux 4.2.5 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Wily) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Wily) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: + SRU Justification - 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.
