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 v4.18.5 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 v4.18.5 stable release shall be applied: EDAC: Add missing MEM_LRDDR4 entry in edac_mem_types[] pty: fix O_CLOEXEC for TIOCGPTPEER mm: Allow non-direct-map arguments to free_reserved_area() x86/mm/init: Pass unconverted symbol addresses to free_init_pages() x86/mm/init: Add helper for freeing kernel image pages x86/mm/init: Remove freed kernel image areas from alias mapping powerpc64s: Show ori31 availability in spectre_v1 sysfs file not v2 ext4: fix spectre gadget in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() drm/i915/kvmgt: Fix potential Spectre v1 drm/amdgpu/pm: Fix potential Spectre v1 parisc: Remove unnecessary barriers from spinlock.h parisc: Remove ordered stores from syscall.S PCI: Restore resized BAR state on resume PCI / ACPI / PM: Resume all bridges on suspend-to-RAM PCI: hotplug: Don't leak pci_slot on registration failure PCI: aardvark: Size bridges before resources allocation PCI: Skip MPS logic for Virtual Functions (VFs) PCI: pciehp: Fix use-after-free on unplug PCI: pciehp: Fix unprotected list iteration in IRQ handler i2c: core: ACPI: Properly set status byte to 0 for multi-byte writes i2c: imx: Fix race condition in dma read reiserfs: fix broken xattr handling (heap corruption, bad retval) Linux 4.18.5 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Seth Forshee (sforshee) Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Seth Forshee (sforshee) ** 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.
