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 v4.4.33 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 v4.4.33 stable release shall be applied: ALSA: info: Return error for invalid read/write ALSA: info: Limit the proc text input size ASoC: cs4270: fix DAPM stream name mismatch dib0700: fix nec repeat handling swapfile: fix memory corruption via malformed swapfile coredump: fix unfreezable coredumping task s390/hypfs: Use get_free_page() instead of kmalloc to ensure page alignment ARC: timer: rtc: implement read loop in "C" vs. inline asm pinctrl: cherryview: Serialize register access in suspend/resume pinctrl: cherryview: Prevent possible interrupt storm on resume staging: iio: ad5933: avoid uninitialized variable in error case drivers: staging: nvec: remove bogus reset command for PS/2 interface Revert "staging: nvec: ps2: change serio type to passthrough" staging: nvec: remove managed resource from PS2 driver USB: cdc-acm: fix TIOCMIWAIT usb: gadget: u_ether: remove interrupt throttling drbd: Fix kernel_sendmsg() usage - potential NULL deref toshiba-wmi: Fix loading the driver on non Toshiba laptops clk: qoriq: Don't allow CPU clocks higher than starting value iio: hid-sensors: Increase the precision of scale to fix wrong reading interpretation. iio: orientation: hid-sensor-rotation: Add PM function (fix non working driver) scsi: qla2xxx: Fix scsi scan hang triggered if adapter fails during init scsi: mpt3sas: Fix for block device of raid exists even after deleting raid disk KVM: MIPS: Precalculate MMIO load resume PC drm/i915: Respect alternate_ddc_pin for all DDI ports dmaengine: at_xdmac: fix spurious flag status for mem2mem transfers tty/serial: at91: fix hardware handshake on Atmel platforms iommu/amd: Free domain id when free a domain of struct dma_ops_domain iommu/vt-d: Fix dead-locks in disable_dmar_iommu() path mei: bus: fix received data size check in NFC fixup lib/genalloc.c: start search from start of chunk hwrng: core - Don't use a stack buffer in add_early_randomness() i40e: fix call of ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink() ACPI / APEI: Fix incorrect return value of ghes_proc() ASoC: sun4i-codec: return error code instead of NULL when create_card fails mmc: mxs: Initialize the spinlock prior to using it btrfs: qgroup: Prevent qgroup->reserved from going subzero netfilter: fix namespace handling in nf_log_proc_dostring Linux 4.4.33 ** 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.
