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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 3.5.7.14 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git TEST CASE: TBD The following patches are in the 3.5.7.14 stable release: * Linux 3.5.7.14 * xen-netfront: frags -> slots in log message * xen-netfront: frags -> slots in xennet_get_responses * xen-netfront: remove unused variable `extra' * xen-netback: better names for thresholds * xen-netback: avoid allocating variable size array on stack * xen-netback: remove redundent parameter in netbk_count_requests * xen-netback: don't disconnect frontend when seeing oversize packet * xen-netback: coalesce slots in TX path and fix regressions * xen-netback: fix sparse warning * xen-netback: remove skb in xen_netbk_alloc_page * reiserfs: fix spurious multiple-fill in reiserfs_readdir_dentry * reiserfs: fix problems with chowning setuid file w/ xattrs * reiserfs: fix deadlock with nfs racing on create/lookup * xfs: kill suid/sgid through the truncate path. * NFSv4: Fix a thinko in nfs4_try_open_cached * drm/radeon: fix card_posted check for newer asics * drm/radeon: fix typo in cu_per_sh on verde * ASoC: cs42l52: fix default value for MASTERA_VOL. * cifs: fix potential buffer overrun when composing a new options string * jfs: fix a couple races * ipvs: ip_vs_sip_fill_param() BUG: bad check of return value * sched/debug: Fix sd->*_idx limit range avoiding overflow * sched/debug: Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl * mm: mmu_notifier: re-fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMU * ACPI / video: Add "Asus UL30A" to ACPI video detect blacklist * ACPI / video: Add "Asus UL30VT" to ACPI video detect blacklist * acpi/video_detect: blacklist samsung x360 * tg3: Skip powering down function 0 on certain serdes devices * dm bufio: avoid a possible __vmalloc deadlock * mwifiex: fix memory leak issue when driver unload * staging:iio:light:tsl2x7x: fix the error handling in tsl2x7x_probe() * mm/pagewalk.c: walk_page_range should avoid VM_PFNMAP areas * ocfs2: goto out_unlock if ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache() failed in ocfs2_fiemap() * random: fix accounting race condition with lockless irq entropy_count update * nilfs2: fix issue of nilfs_set_page_dirty() for page at EOF boundary * drivers/block/brd.c: fix brd_lookup_page() race * drivers/leds/leds-ot200.c: fix error caused by shifted mask * mm/THP: use pmd_populate() to update the pmd with pgtable_t pointer * mm compaction: fix of improper cache flush in migration code * rapidio/tsi721: fix bug in MSI interrupt handling * wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout() * fat: fix possible overflow for fat_clusters * perf: net_dropmonitor: Fix symbol-relative addresses * perf: net_dropmonitor: Fix trace parameter order * SUNRPC: Prevent an rpc_task wakeup race * sunrpc: clarify comments on rpc_make_runnable * ARM: plat-orion: Fix num_resources and id for ge10 and ge11 * mac80211: fix AP-mode frame matching * Kirkwood: Enable PCIe port 1 on QNAP TS-11x/TS-21x * cifs: only set ops for inodes in I_NEW state * TTY: Fix tty miss restart after we turn off flow-control * USB: cxacru: potential underflow in cxacru_cm_get_array() * USB: ftdi_sio: Add support for Newport CONEX motor drivers * USB: option: add device IDs for Dell 5804 (Novatel E371) WWAN card * USB: Blacklisted Cinterion's PLxx WWAN Interface * usb: option: Add Telewell TW-LTE 4G * USB: reset resume quirk needed by a hub * USB: UHCI: fix for suspend of virtual HP controller * USB: xHCI: override bogus bulk wMaxPacketSize values * staging: vt6656: use free_netdev instead of kfree * Input: egalax_ts - ABS_MT_POSITION_Y not reported well * virtio_console: fix uapi header * avr32: fix relocation check for signed 18-bit offset * mantis: fix silly crash case * drm/radeon: Fix VRAM size calculation for VRAM >= 4GB * btrfs: don't stop searching after encountering the wrong item * i2c: designware: always clear interrupts before enabling them * i2c: designware: fix RX FIFO overrun * hwmon: fix error return code in abituguru_probe() ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Quantal) 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 Linus' tree or in a minimally + backported form of that patch.
