** 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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 2.6.31.8 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. TEST CASE: TBD http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.9 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.31.9.bz2 The 2.6.31.9 Upstream Stable Kernel brings in the following 91 patches: * USB: option: add pid for ZTE * USB: usb-storage: fix bug in fill_inquiry * firewire: ohci: handle receive packets with a data length of zero * ALSA: hda -
