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 v4.16.1 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 v4.16.1 stable release shall be applied: bitmap: fix memset optimization on big-endian systems USB: serial: ftdi_sio: add RT Systems VX-8 cable USB: serial: ftdi_sio: add support for Harman FirmwareHubEmulator USB: serial: cp210x: add ELDAT Easywave RX09 id serial: 8250: Add Nuvoton NPCM UART mei: remove dev_err message on an unsupported ioctl /dev/mem: Avoid overwriting "err" in read_mem() media: usbtv: prevent double free in error case parport_pc: Add support for WCH CH382L PCI-E single parallel port card. crypto: lrw - Free rctx->ext with kzfree crypto: ccp - Fill the result buffer only on digest, finup, and final ops crypto: talitos - don't persistently map req_ctx->hw_context and req_ctx->buf crypto: inside-secure - fix clock management crypto: testmgr - Fix incorrect values in PKCS#1 test vector crypto: talitos - fix IPsec cipher in length crypto: ahash - Fix early termination in hash walk crypto: caam - Fix null dereference at error path crypto: ccp - return an actual key size from RSA max_size callback crypto: arm,arm64 - Fix random regeneration of S_shipped crypto: x86/cast5-avx - fix ECB encryption when long sg follows short one Bluetooth: hci_bcm: Add 6 new ACPI HIDs Btrfs: fix unexpected cow in run_delalloc_nocow siox: fix possible buffer overflow in device_add_store staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: ack ai fifo error interrupts.
