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 4.4.97 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 4.4.97 stable release shall be applied: * ALSA: timer: Add missing mutex lock for compat ioctls * ALSA: seq: Fix nested rwsem annotation for lockdep splat * cifs: check MaxPathNameComponentLength != 0 before using it * KEYS: return full count in keyring_read() if buffer is too small * KEYS: fix out-of-bounds read during ASN.1 parsing * ASoC: adau17x1: Workaround for noise bug in ADC * arm64: ensure __dump_instr() checks addr_limit * ARM: dts: mvebu: pl310-cache disable double-linefill * ARM: 8715/1: add a private asm/unaligned.h * ocfs2: fstrim: Fix start offset of first cluster group during fstrim * perf tools: Fix build failure on perl script context * drm/msm: Fix potential buffer overflow issue * drm/msm: fix an integer overflow test * tracing/samples: Fix creation and deletion of simple_thread_fn creation * Fix tracing sample code warning. * PM / wakeirq: report a wakeup_event on dedicated wekup irq * mmc: s3cmci: include linux/interrupt.h for tasklet_struct * ARM: pxa: Don't rely on public mmc header to include leds.h * mfd: ab8500-sysctrl: Handle probe deferral * mfd: axp20x: Fix axp288 PEK_DBR and PEK_DBF irqs being swapped * staging: rtl8712u: Fix endian settings for structs describing network packets * ext4: fix stripe-unaligned allocations * ext4: do not use stripe_width if it is not set * i2c: riic: correctly finish transfers * drm/amdgpu: when dpm disabled, also need to stop/start vce. * perf tools: Only increase index if perf_evsel__new_idx() succeeds * cx231xx: Fix I2C on Internal Master 3 Bus * xen/manage: correct return value check on xenbus_scanf() * scsi: aacraid: Process Error for response I/O * platform/x86: intel_mid_thermal: Fix module autoload * staging: lustre: llite: don't invoke direct_IO for the EOF case * staging: lustre: hsm: stack overrun in hai_dump_data_field * staging: lustre: ptlrpc: skip lock if export failed * exynos4-is: fimc-is: Unmap region obtained by of_iomap() * mei: return error on notification request to a disconnected client * s390/dasd: check for device error pointer within state change interrupts * bt8xx: fix memory leak * xen: don't print error message in case of missing Xenstore entry * staging: r8712u: Fix Sparse warning in rtl871x_xmit.c * Linux 4.4.97 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Medium Assignee: Stefan Bader (smb) Status: In Progress ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stefan Bader (smb) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** 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.
