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: v5.8.18 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ netfilter: nftables_offload: KASAN slab-out-of-bounds Read in nft_flow_rule_create io_uring: don't run task work on an exiting task io_uring: allow timeout/poll/files killing to take task into account io_uring: move dropping of files into separate helper io_uring: stash ctx task reference for SQPOLL io_uring: unconditionally grab req->task io_uring: return cancelation status from poll/timeout/files handlers io_uring: enable task/files specific overflow flushing io_uring: don't rely on weak ->files references io_uring: reference ->nsproxy for file table commands io_wq: Make io_wqe::lock a raw_spinlock_t io-wq: fix use-after-free in io_wq_worker_running io_uring: no need to call xa_destroy() on empty xarray io_uring: Fix use of XArray in __io_uring_files_cancel io_uring: Fix XArray usage in io_uring_add_task_file io_uring: Convert advanced XArray uses to the normal API scripts/setlocalversion: make git describe output more reliable efi/arm64: libstub: Deal gracefully with EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL failure fs/kernel_read_file: Remove FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED enum arm64: Run ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 enabling code on all CPUs arm64: Run ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 enabling code on all CPUs arm64: link with -z norelro regardless of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE x86/PCI: Fix intel_mid_pci.c build error when ACPI is not enabled x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}() UBUNTU: [Config] update config for ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC x86/copy_mc: Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() bnxt_en: Check abort error state in bnxt_open_nic(). bnxt_en: Fix regression in workqueue cleanup logic in bnxt_remove_one(). bnxt_en: Invoke cancel_delayed_work_sync() for PFs also. bnxt_en: Re-write PCI BARs after PCI fatal error. bnxt_en: Send HWRM_FUNC_RESET fw command unconditionally. chelsio/chtls: fix deadlock issue chelsio/chtls: fix memory leaks in CPL handlers chelsio/chtls: fix tls record info to user cxgb4: set up filter action after rewrites gtp: fix an use-before-init in gtp_newlink() ibmveth: Fix use of ibmveth in a bridge. ibmvnic: fix ibmvnic_set_mac mlxsw: core: Fix memory leak on module removal netem: fix zero division in tabledist net: hns3: Clear the CMDQ registers before unmapping BAR region net: ipa: command payloads already mapped net/sched: act_mpls: Add softdep on mpls_gso.ko r8169: fix issue with forced threading in combination with shared interrupts ravb: Fix bit fields checking in ravb_hwtstamp_get() tcp: Prevent low rmem stalls with SO_RCVLOWAT. tipc: fix memory leak caused by tipc_buf_append() net: protect tcf_block_unbind with block lock erofs: avoid duplicated permission check for "trusted." xattrs arch/x86/amd/ibs: Fix re-arming IBS Fetch x86/traps: Fix #DE Oops message regression x86/xen: disable Firmware First mode for correctable memory errors PCI: aardvark: Fix initialization with old Marvell's Arm Trusted Firmware ata: ahci: mvebu: Make SATA PHY optional for Armada 3720 fuse: fix page dereference after free bpf: Fix comment for helper bpf_current_task_under_cgroup() evm: Check size of security.evm before using it p54: avoid accessing the data mapped to streaming DMA cxl: Rework error message for incompatible slots RDMA/addr: Fix race with netevent_callback()/rdma_addr_cancel() mtd: lpddr: Fix bad logic in print_drs_error drm/i915/gem: Serialise debugfs i915_gem_objects with ctx->mutex serial: qcom_geni_serial: To correct QUP Version detection logic serial: pl011: Fix lockdep splat when handling magic-sysrq interrupt PM: runtime: Fix timer_expires data type on 32-bit arches ata: sata_rcar: Fix DMA boundary mask xen/gntdev.c: Mark pages as dirty openrisc: Fix issue with get_user for 64-bit values misc: rtsx: do not setting OC_POWER_DOWN reg in rtsx_pci_init_ocp() phy: marvell: comphy: Convert internal SMCC firmware return codes to errno Linux 5.8.18 UBUNTU: upstream stable to v5.8.18 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa) 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 Groovy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Groovy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa) ** 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.
