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 v4.8.14 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 v4.8.14 stable release shall be applied: gro_cells: mark napi struct as not busy poll candidates virtio-net: add a missing synchronize_net() net: dsa: b53: Fix VLAN usage and how we treat CPU port net: check dead netns for peernet2id_alloc() ip6_tunnel: disable caching when the traffic class is inherited net: sky2: Fix shutdown crash af_unix: conditionally use freezable blocking calls in read rtnetlink: fix FDB size computation l2tp: fix racy SOCK_ZAPPED flag check in l2tp_ip{,6}_bind() rtnl: fix the loop index update error in rtnl_dump_ifinfo() ipv6: bump genid when the IFA_F_TENTATIVE flag is clear udplite: call proper backlog handlers net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Ensure we re-negotiate EEE during after link change net, sched: respect rcu grace period on cls destruction net: dsa: fix unbalanced dsa_switch_tree reference counting net/sched: pedit: make sure that offset is valid netlink: Call cb->done from a worker thread netlink: Do not schedule work from sk_destruct net: macb: fix the RX queue reset in macb_rx() net/dccp: fix use-after-free in dccp_invalid_packet GSO: Reload iph after pskb_may_pull ip6_offload: check segs for NULL in ipv6_gso_segment. cdc_ether: Fix handling connection notification net: bcmgenet: Utilize correct struct device for all DMA operations sh_eth: remove unchecked interrupts for RZ/A1 tipc: check minimum bearer MTU geneve: avoid use-after-free of skb->data net: ping: check minimum size on ICMP header length ipv4: Restore fib_trie_flush_external function and fix call ordering ipv4: Fix memory leak in exception case for splitting tries ipv4: Drop leaf from suffix pull/push functions ipv4: Drop suffix update from resize code sparc64: Fix find_node warning if numa node cannot be found sparc64: fix compile warning section mismatch in find_node() sparc32: Fix inverted invalid_frame_pointer checks on sigreturns constify iov_iter_count() and iter_is_iovec() Don't feed anything but regular iovec's to blk_rq_map_user_iov ipv6: Set skb->protocol properly for local output ipv4: Set skb->protocol properly for local output Revert: "ip6_tunnel: Update skb->protocol to ETH_P_IPV6 in ip6_tnl_xmit()" flowcache: Increase threshold for refusing new allocations esp4: Fix integrity verification when ESN are used esp6: Fix integrity verification when ESN are used Linux 4.8.14 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** 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.
