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: v4.4.253 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ ASoC: dapm: remove widget from dirty list on free mm/hugetlb: fix potential missing huge page size info ext4: fix bug for rename with RENAME_WHITEOUT ARC: build: add boot_targets to PHONY ethernet: ucc_geth: fix definition and size of ucc_geth_tx_global_pram arch/arc: add copy_user_page() to <asm/page.h> to fix build error on ARC misdn: dsp: select CONFIG_BITREVERSE net: ethernet: fs_enet: Add missing MODULE_LICENSE ACPI: scan: add stub acpi_create_platform_device() for !CONFIG_ACPI ARM: picoxcell: fix missing interrupt-parent properties Input: uinput - avoid FF flush when destroying device dump_common_audit_data(): fix racy accesses to ->d_name NFS: nfs_igrab_and_active must first reference the superblock ext4: fix superblock checksum failure when setting password salt RDMA/usnic: Fix memleak in find_free_vf_and_create_qp_grp mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab() fails net: sunrpc: interpret the return value of kstrtou32 correctly usb: ohci: Make distrust_firmware param default to false iio: buffer: Fix demux update nfsd4: readdirplus shouldn't return parent of export net: cdc_ncm: correct overhead in delayed_ndp_size netxen_nic: fix MSI/MSI-x interrupts rndis_host: set proper input size for OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM request net: dcb: Validate netlink message in DCB handler net: dcb: Accept RTM_GETDCB messages carrying set-like DCB commands net: sit: unregister_netdevice on newlink's error path rxrpc: Fix handling of an unsupported token type in rxrpc_read() net: avoid 32 x truesize under-estimation for tiny skbs spi: cadence: cache reference clock rate during probe Linux 4.4.253 UBUNTU: upstream stable to v4.4.253 ** 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.
