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 v4.4.45 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 v4.4.45 stable release shall be applied: ftrace/x86: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it IB/mlx5: Wait for all async command completions to complete IB/mlx4: Set traffic class in AH IB/mlx4: Fix out-of-range array index in destroy qp flow IB/mlx4: Fix port query for 56Gb Ethernet links IB/mlx4: When no DMFS for IPoIB, don't allow NET_IF QPs IB/IPoIB: Remove can't use GFP_NOIO warning perf scripting: Avoid leaking the scripting_context variable ARM: dts: imx31: fix clock control module interrupts description ARM: dts: imx31: move CCM device node to AIPS2 bus devices ARM: dts: imx31: fix AVIC base address tmpfs: clear S_ISGID when setting posix ACLs x86/PCI: Ignore _CRS on Supermicro X8DTH-i/6/iF/6F svcrpc: don't leak contexts on PROC_DESTROY fuse: clear FR_PENDING flag when moving requests out of pending queue PCI: Enumerate switches below PCI-to-PCIe bridges HID: corsair: fix DMA buffers on stack HID: corsair: fix control-transfer error handling mmc: mxs-mmc: Fix additional cycles after transmission stop ieee802154: atusb: do not use the stack for buffers to make them DMA able mtd: nand: xway: disable module support x86/ioapic: Restore IO-APIC irq_chip retrigger callback qla2xxx: Fix crash due to null pointer access ubifs: Fix journal replay wrt. xattr nodes clocksource/exynos_mct: Clear interrupt when cpu is shut down svcrdma: avoid duplicate dma unmapping during error recovery ARM: 8634/1: hw_breakpoint: blacklist Scorpion CPUs ceph: fix bad endianness handling in parse_reply_info_extra ARM: dts: da850-evm: fix read access to SPI flash arm64/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write arm64/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write - 2 arm64/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write - 3 arm64/ptrace: Avoid uninitialised struct padding in fpr_set() arm64/ptrace: Reject attempts to set incomplete hardware breakpoint fields ARM: dts: imx6qdl-nitrogen6_max: fix sgtl5000 pinctrl init ARM: ux500: fix prcmu_is_cpu_in_wfi() calculation ARM: 8613/1: Fix the uaccess crash on PB11MPCore blackfin: check devm_pinctrl_get() for errors ite-cir: initialize use_demodulator before using it dmaengine: pl330: Fix runtime PM support for terminated transfers selftest/powerpc: Wrong PMC initialized in pmc56_overflow test arm64: avoid returning from bad_mode Linux 4.4.45 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660993 Title: Xenial update to v4.4.45 stable release Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Xenial: New Bug description: 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.
