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 v4.4.39 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 v4.4.39 stable release shall be applied: powerpc/eeh: Fix deadlock when PE frozen state can't be cleared parisc: Purge TLB before setting PTE parisc: Remove unnecessary TLB purges from flush_dcache_page_asm and flush_icache_page_asm parisc: Fix TLB related boot crash on SMP machines zram: restrict add/remove attributes to root only locking/rtmutex: Prevent dequeue vs. unlock race locking/rtmutex: Use READ_ONCE() in rt_mutex_owner() perf/x86: Fix full width counter, counter overflow crypto: mcryptd - Check mcryptd algorithm compatibility can: raw: raw_setsockopt: limit number of can_filter that can be set can: peak: fix bad memory access and free sequence arm64: futex.h: Add missing PAN toggling m68k: Fix ndelay() macro batman-adv: Check for alloc errors when preparing TT local data hotplug: Make register and unregister notifier API symmetric crypto: rsa - Add Makefile dependencies to fix parallel builds Linux 4.4.39 ** 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.
