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 v4.11.6 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 v4.11.6 stable release shall be applied: drm/i915: Do not drop pagetables when empty PCI/PM: Add needs_resume flag to avoid suspend complete optimization drm/i915: Prevent the system suspend complete optimization partitions/msdos: FreeBSD UFS2 file systems are not recognized efi: Fix boot panic because of invalid BGRT image address xtensa: don't use linux IRQ #0 s390/kvm: do not rely on the ILC on kvm host protection fauls Revert "drm/i915: Restore lost "Initialized i915" welcome message" drm/i915: Fix 90/270 rotated coordinates for FBC drm/i915: Workaround VLV/CHV DSI scanline counter hardware fail drm/i915: Guard against i915_ggtt_disable_guc() being invoked unconditionally drm/i915: Always recompute watermarks when distrust_bios_wm is set, v2. drm/i915: Disable decoupled MMIO Linux 4.11.6 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Seth Forshee (sforshee) Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Medium Assignee: Seth Forshee (sforshee) Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) 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.
