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 v4.11.11 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 v4.11.11 stable release shall be applied: mqueue: fix a use-after-free in sys_mq_notify() proc: Fix proc_sys_prune_dcache to hold a sb reference locking/rwsem-spinlock: Fix EINTR branch in __down_write_common() staging: vt6556: vnt_start Fix missing call to vnt_key_init_table. staging: comedi: fix clean-up of comedi_class in comedi_init() crypto: caam - fix gfp allocation flags (part I) crypto: rsa-pkcs1pad - use constant time memory comparison for MACs ext4: check return value of kstrtoull correctly in reserved_clusters_store x86/mm/pat: Don't report PAT on CPUs that don't support it Linux 4.11.11 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) 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.
