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 v4.4.23 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 v4.4.23 stable release shall be applied: include/linux/kernel.h: change abs() macro so it uses consistent return type Fix build warning in kernel/cpuset.c reiserfs: fix "new_insert_key may be used uninitialized ..." ipv4: panic in leaf_walk_rcu due to stale node pointer ipv6: release dst in ping_v6_sendmsg tcp: cwnd does not increase in TCP YeAH tcp: properly scale window in tcp_v[46]_reqsk_send_ack() crypto: arm64/aes-ctr - fix NULL dereference in tail processing crypto: arm/aes-ctr - fix NULL dereference in tail processing crypto: skcipher - Fix blkcipher walk OOM crash crypto: echainiv - Replace chaining with multiplication ocfs2/dlm: fix race between convert and migration ocfs2: fix start offset to ocfs2_zero_range_for_truncate() kbuild: Do not run modules_install and install in paralel Makefile: revert "Makefile: Document ability to make file.lst and file.S" partially tools: Support relative directory path for 'O=' kbuild: forbid kernel directory to contain spaces and colons Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES gcov: disable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally Disable "frame-address" warning Makefile: Mute warning for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing only net: caif: fix misleading indentation Add braces to avoid "ambiguous ‘else’" compiler warnings am437x-vfpe: fix typo in vpfe_get_app_input_index ath9k: fix misleading indentation iwlegacy: avoid warning about missing braces Staging: iio: adc: fix indent on break statement nouveau: fix nv40_perfctr_next() cleanup regression bonding: Fix bonding crash Revert "af_unix: Fix splice-bind deadlock" af_unix: split 'u->readlock' into two: 'iolock' and 'bindlock' vti: flush x-netns xfrm cache when vti interface is removed net/irda: handle iriap_register_lsap() allocation failure tipc: fix NULL pointer dereference in shutdown() net/mlx5: Added missing check of msg length in verifying its signature net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Fix race condition while unmasking interrupts Revert "phy: IRQ cannot be shared" net: smc91x: fix SMC accesses bridge: re-introduce 'fix parsing of MLDv2 reports' autofs races autofs: use dentry flags to block walks during expire xfs: prevent dropping ioend completions during buftarg wait fsnotify: add a way to stop queueing events on group shutdown fanotify: fix list corruption in fanotify_get_response() fix fault_in_multipages_...() on architectures with no-op access_ok() mtd: maps: sa1100-flash: potential NULL dereference mtd: pmcmsp-flash: Allocating too much in init_msp_flash() power: reset: hisi-reboot: Unmap region obtained by of_iomap fix memory leaks in tracing_buffers_splice_read() tracing: Move mutex to protect against resetting of seq data mm: delete unnecessary and unsafe init_tlb_ubc() can: flexcan: fix resume function nl80211: validate number of probe response CSA counters btrfs: ensure that file descriptor used with subvol ioctls is a dir i2c-eg20t: fix race between i2c init and interrupt enable i2c: qup: skip qup_i2c_suspend if the device is already runtime suspended MIPS: Fix pre-r6 emulation FPU initialisation MIPS: SMP: Fix possibility of deadlock when bringing CPUs online MIPS: vDSO: Fix Malta EVA mapping to vDSO page structs MIPS: Remove compact branch policy Kconfig entries MIPS: Avoid a BUG warning during prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...)
