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 v4.11.12 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 v4.11.12 stable release shall be applied: net/phy: micrel: configure intterupts after autoneg workaround ipv6: avoid unregistering inet6_dev for loopback netvsc: don't access netdev->num_rx_queues directly sfc: Fix MCDI command size for filter operations net: account for current skb length when deciding about UFO net: dp83640: Avoid NULL pointer dereference. tcp: reset sk_rx_dst in tcp_disconnect() net: prevent sign extension in dev_get_stats() virtio-net: serialize tx routine during reset net: sched: Fix one possible panic when no destroy callback mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix NULL pointer dereference rocker: move dereference before free bpf: prevent leaking pointer via xadd on unpriviledged net: handle NAPI_GRO_FREE_STOLEN_HEAD case also in napi_frags_finish() net/mlx5: Cancel delayed recovery work when unloading the driver net/mlx5e: Fix TX carrier errors report in get stats ndo ipv6: dad: don't remove dynamic addresses if link is down vxlan: fix hlist corruption geneve: fix hlist corruption net: core: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in netdev_stats_to_stats64 liquidio: fix bug in soft reset failure detection net: ipv6: Compare lwstate in detecting duplicate nexthops vrf: fix bug_on triggered by rx when destroying a vrf rds: tcp: use sock_create_lite() to create the accept socket net/mlx5e: Initialize CEE's getpermhwaddr address buffer to 0xff cxgb4: fix BUG() on interrupt deallocating path of ULD tap: convert a mutex to a spinlock bridge: mdb: fix leak on complete_info ptr on fail path brcmfmac: fix possible buffer overflow in brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx() sfc: don't read beyond unicast address list Adding asm-prototypes.h for genksyms to generate crc sed regex in Makefile.build requires line break between exported symbols Adding the type of exported symbols sparc64: Fix gup_huge_pmd block: Fix a blk_exit_rl() regression brcmfmac: Fix a memory leak in error handling path in 'brcmf_cfg80211_attach' brcmfmac: Fix glom_skb leak in brcmf_sdiod_recv_chain efi: Process the MEMATTR table only if EFI_MEMMAP is enabled cfg80211: Define nla_policy for NL80211_ATTR_LOCAL_MESH_POWER_MODE cfg80211: Validate frequencies nested in NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_FREQUENCIES cfg80211: Check if PMKID attribute is of expected size cfg80211: Check if NAN service ID is of expected size drm/amdgpu/gfx6: properly cache mc_arb_ramcfg irqchip/gic-v3: Fix out-of-bound access in gic_set_affinity parisc: Report SIGSEGV instead of SIGBUS when running out of stack parisc: use compat_sys_keyctl() parisc: DMA API: return error instead of BUG_ON for dma ops on non dma devs parisc/mm: Ensure IRQs are off in switch_mm() tools/lib/lockdep: Reduce MAX_LOCK_DEPTH to avoid overflowing lock_chain/: Depth thp, mm: fix crash due race in MADV_FREE handling kernel/extable.c: mark core_kernel_text notrace mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to be race free fs/dcache.c: fix spin lockup issue on nlru->lock checkpatch: silence perl 5.26.0 unescaped left brace warnings binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE arm: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4MB arm64: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4GB / 4MB powerpc: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4GB / 4MB s390: reduce ELF_ET_DYN_BASE exec: Limit arg stack to at most 75% of _STK_LIM powerpc/kexec: Fix radix to hash kexec due to IAMR/AMOR ARM64: dts: marvell: armada37xx: Fix timer interrupt specifiers arm64: Preventing READ_IMPLIES_EXEC propagation vt: fix unchecked __put_user() in tioclinux ioctls rcu: Add memory barriers for NOCB leader wakeup nvmem: core: fix leaks on registration errors Drivers: hv: vmbus: Close timing hole that can corrupt per-cpu page mnt: In umount propagation reparent in a separate pass mnt: In propgate_umount handle visiting mounts in any order mnt: Make propagate_umount less slow for overlapping mount propagation trees selftests/capabilities: Fix the test_execve test mm: fix overflow check in expand_upwards() crypto: talitos -
