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 4.4.105 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 4.4.105 stable release shall be applied: * bcache: only permit to recovery read error when cache device is clean * bcache: recover data from backing when data is clean * uas: Always apply US_FL_NO_ATA_1X quirk to Seagate devices * usb: quirks: Add no-lpm quirk for KY-688 USB 3.1 Type-C Hub * serial: 8250_pci: Add Amazon PCI serial device ID * s390/runtime instrumentation: simplify task exit handling * USB: serial: option: add Quectel BG96 id * ima: fix hash algorithm initialization * s390/pci: do not require AIS facility * selftests/x86/ldt_get: Add a few additional tests for limits * serial: 8250_fintek: Fix rs485 disablement on invalid ioctl() * spi: sh-msiof: Fix DMA transfer size check * usb: phy: tahvo: fix error handling in tahvo_usb_probe() * serial: 8250: Preserve DLD[7:4] for PORT_XR17V35X * x86/entry: Use SYSCALL_DEFINE() macros for sys_modify_ldt() * EDAC, sb_edac: Fix missing break in switch * sysrq : fix Show Regs call trace on ARM * perf test attr: Fix ignored test case result * kprobes/x86: Disable preemption in ftrace-based jprobes * net: systemport: Utilize skb_put_padto() * net: systemport: Pad packet before inserting TSB * ARM: OMAP1: DMA: Correct the number of logical channels * vti6: fix device register to report IFLA_INFO_KIND * net/appletalk: Fix kernel memory disclosure * ravb: Remove Rx overflow log messages * nfs: Don't take a reference on fl->fl_file for LOCK operation * KVM: arm/arm64: Fix occasional warning from the timer work function * NFSv4: Fix client recovery when server reboots multiple times * drm/exynos/decon5433: set STANDALONE_UPDATE_F on output enablement * net: sctp: fix array overrun read on sctp_timer_tbl * tipc: fix cleanup at module unload * dmaengine: pl330: fix double lock * tcp: correct memory barrier usage in tcp_check_space() * mm: avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite handlers * xen-netfront: Improve error handling during initialization * net: fec: fix multicast filtering hardware setup * Revert "ocfs2: should wait dio before inode lock in ocfs2_setattr()" * usb: hub: Cycle HUB power when initialization fails * usb: xhci: fix panic in xhci_free_virt_devices_depth_first * usb: Add USB 3.1 Precision time measurement capability descriptor support * usb: ch9: Add size macro for SSP dev cap descriptor * USB: core: Add type-specific length check of BOS descriptors * USB: Increase usbfs transfer limit * USB: devio: Prevent integer overflow in proc_do_submiturb() * USB: usbfs: Filter flags passed in from user space * usb: host: fix incorrect updating of offset * xen-netfront: avoid crashing on resume after a failure in talk_to_netback() * Linux 4.4.105 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** 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.
