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 4.4.120 upstream stable 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 4.4.120 stable release shall be applied: * Linux 4.4.120 * MIPS: Implement __multi3 for GCC7 MIPS64r6 builds * net: gianfar_ptp: move set_fipers() to spinlock protecting area * sctp: make use of pre-calculated len * xen/gntdev: Fix partial gntdev_mmap() cleanup * xen/gntdev: Fix off-by-one error when unmapping with holes * SolutionEngine771x: fix Ether platform data * mdio-sun4i: Fix a memory leak * xen-netfront: enable device after manual module load * bnxt_en: Fix the 'Invalid VF' id check in bnxt_vf_ndo_prep routine. * can: flex_can: Correct the checking for frame length in flexcan_start_xmit() * mac80211: mesh: drop frames appearing to be from us * drm/ttm: check the return value of kzalloc * e1000: fix disabling already-disabled warning * xfs: quota: check result of register_shrinker() * xfs: quota: fix missed destroy of qi_tree_lock * IB/ipoib: Fix race condition in neigh creation * IB/mlx4: Fix mlx4_ib_alloc_mr error flow * s390/dasd: fix wrongly assigned configuration data * led: core: Fix brightness setting when setting delay_off=0 * bnx2x: Improve reliability in case of nested PCI errors * tg3: Enable PHY reset in MTU change path for 5720 * tg3: Add workaround to restrict 5762 MRRS to 2048 * lib/mpi: Fix umul_ppmm() for MIPS64r6 * ARM: dts: ls1021a: fix incorrect clock references * scsi: storvsc: Fix scsi_cmd error assignments in storvsc_handle_error * net: arc_emac: fix arc_emac_rx() error paths * spi: atmel: fixed spin_lock usage inside atmel_spi_remove * drm/nouveau/pci: do a msi rearm on init * sget(): handle failures of register_shrinker() * ARM: 8731/1: Fix csum_partial_copy_from_user() stack mismatch * ipv6: icmp6: Allow icmp messages to be looped back * mtd: nand: gpmi: Fix failure when a erased page has a bitflip at BBM * f2fs: fix a bug caused by NULL extent tree * hrtimer: Ensure POSIX compliance (relative CLOCK_REALTIME hrtimers) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Description changed: 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.
