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 v4.4.51 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 v4.4.51 stable release shall be applied: vfs: fix uninitialized flags in splice_to_pipe() siano: make it work again with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK fuse: fix use after free issue in fuse_dev_do_read() scsi: don't BUG_ON() empty DMA transfers Fix missing sanity check in /dev/sg Input: elan_i2c - add ELAN0605 to the ACPI table drm/radeon: Use mode h/vdisplay fields to hide out of bounds HW cursor drm/dp/mst: fix kernel oops when turning off secondary monitor futex: Move futex_init() to core_initcall ARM: 8658/1: uaccess: fix zeroing of 64-bit get_user() printk: use rcuidle console tracepoint NTB: ntb_transport: fix debugfs_remove_recursive ntb_transport: Pick an unused queue bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state() mmc: core: fix multi-bit bus width without high-speed mode Linux 4.4.51 ** 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.
