** Description changed: + BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836261 + + [Impact] + + Upstream has recently received a number of bug fixes that resolve kernel panics, + memory leaks, and list handling for virtual xfrm interfaces that were debuted in + 4.19. + + [Test Case] + + 3 of the 5 patches have test cases in their commit message for reproducing the + fault they address. + + Another patch prevents including a stale name in the log files. + + And the other patch that doesn't have an explicit test case improves list + handling. + + [Regression Potential] + + This patchset contains a nontrivial amount of changes. However, the heavier + patches contain test cases that they resolve the regressions they were created + for. They've been upstream since July and I don't see any follow up Fixes + commits targeting these. The blast radius is "only" the xfrm interface but this + is smoke tested and if any dependents rely on it for core functionality they + might exercise it and would possibly notice any issues by now as well. + + + Original bug description follows: + -------------------------------------------- + There was several problems reported upstream: 1/ 56c5ee1a5823: xfrm interface: fix memory leak on creation https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=56c5ee1a5823 2/ xfrm interface: avoid corruption on changelink http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1130240/ 3/ xfrm interface: ifname may be wrong in logs http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1130241/ 4/ xfrm interface: fix list corruption for x-netns http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1130385/ ** Description changed: BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836261 [Impact] - Upstream has recently received a number of bug fixes that resolve kernel panics, - memory leaks, and list handling for virtual xfrm interfaces that were debuted in - 4.19. + Upstream has recently received a number of bug fixes that resolve kernel + panics, memory leaks, and list handling for virtual xfrm interfaces that + were debuted in 4.19.
