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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 3.2.74 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 are in the 3.2.74 stable release: PCI: Fix devfn for VPD access through function 0 PCI: Use function 0 VPD for identical functions, regular VPD for others mac80211: fix driver RSSI event calculations HID: core: Avoid uninitialized buffer access wm831x_power: Use IRQF_ONESHOT to request threaded IRQs mwifiex: fix mwifiex_rdeeprom_read() mtd: mtdpart: fix add_mtd_partitions error path devres: fix a for loop bounds check packet: fix match_fanout_group() Btrfs: added helper btrfs_next_item() Btrfs: fix file corruption and data loss after cloning inline extents iommu/vt-d: Fix ATSR handling for Root-Complex integrated endpoints ARM: pxa: remove incorrect __init annotation on pxa27x_set_pwrmode Btrfs: don't use ram_bytes for uncompressed inline items Btrfs: fix truncation of compressed and inlined extents ext4, jbd2: ensure entering into panic after recording an error in superblock Bluetooth: ath3k: Add new AR3012 0930:021c id Bluetooth: ath3k: Add support of AR3012 0cf3:817b device staging: rtl8712: Add device ID for Sitecom WLA2100 ACPI: Use correct IRQ when uninstalling ACPI interrupt handler MIPS: atomic: Fix comment describing atomic64_add_unless's return value.
