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 v4.15.6 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 v4.15.6 stable release shall be applied: tun: fix tun_napi_alloc_frags() frag allocator ptr_ring: fail early if queue occupies more than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE ptr_ring: try vmalloc() when kmalloc() fails selinux: ensure the context is NUL terminated in security_context_to_sid_core() selinux: skip bounded transition processing if the policy isn't loaded media: pvrusb2: properly check endpoint types crypto: x86/twofish-3way - Fix %rbp usage staging: android: ion: Add __GFP_NOWARN for system contig heap staging: android: ion: Switch from WARN to pr_warn blk_rq_map_user_iov: fix error override KVM: x86: fix escape of guest dr6 to the host kcov: detect double association with a single task netfilter: x_tables: fix int overflow in xt_alloc_table_info() netfilter: x_tables: avoid out-of-bounds reads in xt_request_find_{match|target} netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix out-of-bounds accesses in clusterip_tg_check() netfilter: on sockopt() acquire sock lock only in the required scope netfilter: xt_cgroup: initialize info->priv in cgroup_mt_check_v1() netfilter: xt_RATEEST: acquire xt_rateest_mutex for hash insert rds: tcp: correctly sequence cleanup on netns deletion. rds: tcp: atomically purge entries from rds_tcp_conn_list during netns delete net: avoid skb_warn_bad_offload on IS_ERR net_sched: gen_estimator: fix lockdep splat soc: qcom: rmtfs_mem: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR/LICENSE ASoC: ux500: add MODULE_LICENSE tag video: fbdev/mmp: add MODULE_LICENSE ARM: 8743/1: bL_switcher: add MODULE_LICENSE tag arm64: dts: add #cooling-cells to CPU nodes dn_getsockoptdecnet: move nf_{get/set}sockopt outside sock lock ANDROID: binder: remove WARN() for redundant txn error ANDROID: binder: synchronize_rcu() when using POLLFREE. staging: android: ashmem: Fix a race condition in pin ioctls binder: check for binder_thread allocation failure in binder_poll() binder: replace "%p" with "%pK" staging: fsl-mc: fix build testing on x86 staging: iio: adc: ad7192: fix external frequency setting staging: iio: ad5933: switch buffer mode to software xhci: Fix NULL pointer in xhci debugfs xhci: Fix xhci debugfs devices node disappearance after hibernation xhci: xhci debugfs device nodes weren't removed after device plugged out xhci: fix xhci debugfs errors in xhci_stop usbip: keep usbip_device sockfd state in sync with tcp_socket crypto: s5p-sss - Fix kernel Oops in AES-ECB mode mei: me: add cannon point device ids mei: me: add cannon point device ids for 4th device vmalloc: fix __GFP_HIGHMEM usage for vmalloc_32 on 32b systems Linux 4.15.6 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Seth Forshee (sforshee) Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Seth Forshee (sforshee) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** 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.
