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 v4.4.21 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 v4.4.21 stable release shall be applied: Revert "i40e: fix: do not sleep in netdev_ops" fs: Check for invalid i_uid in may_follow_link() netfilter: x_tables: check for size overflow ext4: validate that metadata blocks do not overlap superblock ext4: fix xattr shifting when expanding inodes ext4: fix xattr shifting when expanding inodes part 2 ext4: properly align shifted xattrs when expanding inodes ext4: avoid deadlock when expanding inode size ext4: avoid modifying checksum fields directly during checksum verification block: Fix race triggered by blk_set_queue_dying() block: make sure a big bio is split into at most 256 bvecs cgroup: reduce read locked section of cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem during fork s390/sclp_ctl: fix potential information leak with /dev/sclp drm/radeon: fix radeon_move_blit on 32bit systems drm: Reject page_flip for !DRIVER_MODESET drm/msm: fix use of copy_from_user() while holding spinlock ASoC: atmel_ssc_dai: Don't unconditionally reset SSC on stream startup xfs: fix superblock inprogress check timekeeping: Cap array access in timekeeping_debug timekeeping: Avoid taking lock in NMI path with CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING lustre: remove unused declaration wrappers for ->i_mutex access ovl: don't copy up opaqueness ovl: remove posix_acl_default from workdir ovl: listxattr: use strnlen() ovl: fix workdir creation ubifs: Fix assertion in layout_in_gaps() bcache: RESERVE_PRIO is too small by one when prio_buckets() is a power of two. vhost/scsi: fix reuse of &vq->iov[out] in response x86/apic: Do not init irq remapping if ioapic is disabled uprobes: Fix the memcg accounting crypto: caam - fix IV loading for authenc (giv)decryption ALSA: usb-audio: Add sample rate inquiry quirk for B850V3 CP2114 ALSA: firewire-tascam: accessing to user space outside spinlock ALSA: fireworks: accessing to user space outside spinlock ALSA: rawmidi: Fix possible deadlock with virmidi registration ALSA: hda - Add headset mic quirk for Dell Inspiron 5468 ALSA: hda - Enable subwoofer on Dell Inspiron 7559 ALSA: timer: fix NULL pointer dereference in read()/ioctl() race ALSA: timer: fix division by zero after SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CONTINUE ALSA: timer: fix NULL pointer dereference on memory allocation failure scsi: fix upper bounds check of sense key in scsi_sense_key_string() metag: Fix atomic_*_return inline asm constraints cpufreq: Fix GOV_LIMITS handling for the userspace governor hwrng: exynos - Disable runtime PM on probe failure regulator: anatop: allow regulator to be in bypass mode lib/mpi: mpi_write_sgl(): fix skipping of leading zero limbs Linux 4.4.21 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) 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 a mainline/stable Linux tree or + a minimally backported form of that patch.
