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 following upstream stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel: v4.4.244 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ ring-buffer: Fix recursion protection transitions between interrupt context gfs2: Wake up when sd_glock_disposal becomes zero mm: mempolicy: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error time: Prevent undefined behaviour in timespec64_to_ns() btrfs: reschedule when cloning lots of extents net: xfrm: fix a race condition during allocing spi perf tools: Add missing swap for ino_generation ALSA: hda: prevent undefined shift in snd_hdac_ext_bus_get_link() can: dev: can_get_echo_skb(): prevent call to kfree_skb() in hard IRQ context can: dev: __can_get_echo_skb(): fix real payload length return value for RTR frames can: can_create_echo_skb(): fix echo skb generation: always use skb_clone() can: peak_usb: add range checking in decode operations can: peak_usb: peak_usb_get_ts_time(): fix timestamp wrapping Btrfs: fix missing error return if writeback for extent buffer never started i40e: Wrong truncation from u16 to u8 i40e: Fix of memory leak and integer truncation in i40e_virtchnl.c ath9k_htc: Use appropriate rs_datalen type usb: gadget: goku_udc: fix potential crashes in probe gfs2: Free rd_bits later in gfs2_clear_rgrpd to fix use-after-free gfs2: check for live vs. read-only file system in gfs2_fitrim drm/amdgpu: perform srbm soft reset always on SDMA resume mac80211: fix use of skb payload instead of header cfg80211: regulatory: Fix inconsistent format argument iommu/amd: Increase interrupt remapping table limit to 512 entries xfs: fix a missing unlock on error in xfs_fs_map_blocks of/address: Fix of_node memory leak in of_dma_is_coherent cosa: Add missing kfree in error path of cosa_write perf: Fix get_recursion_context() ext4: correctly report "not supported" for {usr,grp}jquota when !CONFIG_QUOTA ext4: unlock xattr_sem properly in ext4_inline_data_truncate() usb: cdc-acm: Add DISABLE_ECHO for Renesas USB Download mode mei: protect mei_cl_mtu from null dereference ocfs2: initialize ip_next_orphan don't dump the threads that had been already exiting when zapped. drm/gma500: Fix out-of-bounds access to struct drm_device.vblank[] pinctrl: amd: use higher precision for 512 RtcClk pinctrl: amd: fix incorrect way to disable debounce filter swiotlb: fix "x86: Don't panic if can not alloc buffer for swiotlb" IPv6: Set SIT tunnel hard_header_len to zero net/af_iucv: fix null pointer dereference on shutdown net/x25: Fix null-ptr-deref in x25_connect net: Update window_clamp if SOCK_RCVBUF is set random32: make prandom_u32() output unpredictable x86/speculation: Allow IBPB to be conditionally enabled on CPUs with always-on STIBP xen/events: avoid removing an event channel while handling it xen/events: add a proper barrier to 2-level uevent unmasking xen/events: fix race in evtchn_fifo_unmask() xen/events: add a new "late EOI" evtchn framework xen/blkback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/netback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/scsiback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/pciback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/events: switch user event channels to lateeoi model xen/events: use a common cpu hotplug hook for event channels xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events xen/events: block rogue events for some time Revert "kernel/reboot.c: convert simple_strtoul to kstrtoint" reboot: fix overflow parsing reboot cpu number ext4: fix leaking sysfs kobject after failed mount Convert trailing spaces and periods in path components Linux 4.4.244 UBUNTU: upstream stable to v4.4.244 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa) Status: In Progress ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa) ** 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.
