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 a mainline/stable Linux tree or a minimally backported form of that patch. The 3.2.79 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 from the 3.2.79 stable release shall be applied: Revert "crypto: algif_skcipher - Do not dereference ctx without socket lock" crypto: {blk,giv}cipher: Set has_setkey iommu/vt-d: Fix 64-bit accesses to 32-bit DMAR_GSTS_REG wext: fix message delay/ordering cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering mac80211: fix use of uninitialised values in RX aggregation nfs: fix nfs_size_to_loff_t drm/i915: fix error path in intel_setup_gmbus() cifs: fix erroneous return value s390/dasd: prevent incorrect length error under z/VM after PAV changes s390/dasd: fix refcount for PAV reassignment libata: fix HDIO_GET_32BIT ioctl xen/pciback: Check PF instead of VF for PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY xen/pciback: Save the number of MSI-X entries to be copied later. xen/pcifront: Fix mysterious crashes when NUMA locality information was extracted.
