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: v4.4.254 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ ALSA: seq: oss: Fix missing error check in snd_seq_oss_synth_make_info() ALSA: hda/via: Add minimum mute flag ACPI: scan: Make acpi_bus_get_device() clear return pointer on error dm: avoid filesystem lookup in dm_get_dev_t() ASoC: Intel: haswell: Add missing pm_ops scsi: ufs: Correct the LUN used in eh_device_reset_handler() callback drm/nouveau/bios: fix issue shadowing expansion ROMs drm/nouveau/i2c/gm200: increase width of aux semaphore owner fields can: dev: can_restart: fix use after free bug iio: ad5504: Fix setting power-down state ehci: fix EHCI host controller initialization sequence usb: bdc: Make bdc pci driver depend on BROKEN UBUNTU: [Config] updateconfigs for USB_BDC_PCI xhci: make sure TRB is fully written before giving it to the controller compiler.h: Raise minimum version of GCC to 5.1 for arm64 netfilter: rpfilter: mask ecn bits before fib lookup sh: dma: fix kconfig dependency for G2_DMA sh_eth: Fix power down vs. is_opened flag ordering skbuff: back tiny skbs with kmalloc() in __netdev_alloc_skb() too ipv6: create multicast route with RTPROT_KERNEL net_sched: avoid shift-out-of-bounds in tcindex_set_parms() Revert "mm/slub: fix a memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()" tracing: Fix race in trace_open and buffer resize call xen-blkback: set ring->xenblkd to NULL after kthread_stop() x86/boot/compressed: Disable relocation relaxation Linux 4.4.254 UBUNTU: upstream stable to v4.4.254 ** 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.
