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 v4.4.49 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 v4.4.49 stable release shall be applied: ARC: [arcompact] brown paper bag bug in unaligned access delay slot fixup selinux: fix off-by-one in setprocattr Revert "x86/ioapic: Restore IO-APIC irq_chip retrigger callback" cpumask: use nr_cpumask_bits for parsing functions hns: avoid stack overflow with CONFIG_KASAN ARM: 8643/3: arm/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write target: Don't BUG_ON during NodeACL dynamic -> explicit conversion target: Use correct SCSI status during EXTENDED_COPY exception target: Fix early transport_generic_handle_tmr abort scenario target: Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE ref leak for non GOOD status ARM: 8642/1: LPAE: catch pending imprecise abort on unmask mac80211: Fix adding of mesh vendor IEs netvsc: Set maximum GSO size in the right place scsi: zfcp: fix use-after-free by not tracing WKA port open/close on failed send scsi: aacraid: Fix INTx/MSI-x issue with older controllers scsi: mpt3sas: disable ASPM for MPI2 controllers xen-netfront: Delete rx_refill_timer in xennet_disconnect_backend() ALSA: seq: Fix race at creating a queue ALSA: seq: Don't handle loop timeout at snd_seq_pool_done() drm/i915: fix use-after-free in page_flip_completed() Linux 4.4.49 ** 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 ** 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.
