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 3.16.7-ckt20 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git TEST CASE: TBD The following patches are in the 3.16.7-ckt20 stable release: regmap: debugfs: Ensure we don't underflow when printing access masks regmap: debugfs: Don't bother actually printing when calculating max length x86/xen: Support kexec/kdump in HVM guests by doing a soft reset s390/boot/decompression: disable floating point in decompressor svcrdma: handle rdma read with a non-zero initial page offset dm: fix AB-BA deadlock in __dm_destroy() [SMB3] Do not fall back to SMBWriteX in set_file_size error cases clk: ti: fix dual-registration of uart4_ick ASoC: dwc: correct irq clear method dm raid: fix round up of default region size ALSA: hda: Add dock support for ThinkPad T550 ALSA: hda -
