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 following upstream stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel: * ARM: riscpc: fix DMA * ARM: dts: rockchip: Mark that the rk3288 timer might stop in suspend * kernel/module.c: Only return -EEXIST for modules that have finished loading * MIPS: lantiq: Fix bitfield masking * dmaengine: rcar-dmac: Reject zero-length slave DMA requests * fs/adfs: super: fix use-after-free bug * btrfs: fix minimum number of chunk errors for DUP * ceph: fix improper use of smp_mb__before_atomic() * scsi: zfcp: fix GCC compiler warning emitted with -Wmaybe-uninitialized * ACPI: fix false-positive -Wuninitialized warning * be2net: Signal that the device cannot transmit during reconfiguration * x86/apic: Silence -Wtype-limits compiler warnings * x86: math-emu: Hide clang warnings for 16-bit overflow * mm/cma.c: fail if fixed declaration can't be honored * coda: add error handling for fget * coda: fix build using bare-metal toolchain * uapi linux/coda_psdev.h: move upc_req definition from uapi to kernel side headers * ipc/mqueue.c: only perform resource calculation if user valid * x86/kvm: Don't call kvm_spurious_fault() from .fixup * selinux: fix memory leak in policydb_init() * s390/dasd: fix endless loop after read unit address configuration * xen/swiotlb: fix condition for calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() * Linux 4.4.188 4.4.188 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Medium Assignee: Connor Kuehl (connork) Status: In Progress ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Connor Kuehl (connork) ** 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.
