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: upstream stable patchset 2021-06-23 Ported from the following upstream stable releases: v4.14.236, v4.19.194 from git://git.kernel.org/ net: usb: cdc_ncm: don't spew notifications efi: Allow EFI_MEMORY_XP and EFI_MEMORY_RO both to be cleared efi: cper: fix snprintf() use in cper_dimm_err_location() vfio/pci: Fix error return code in vfio_ecap_init() vfio/pci: zap_vma_ptes() needs MMU vfio/platform: fix module_put call in error flow ipvs: ignore IP_VS_SVC_F_HASHED flag when adding service HID: pidff: fix error return code in hid_pidff_init() HID: i2c-hid: fix format string mismatch netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: hit EBUSY on updates if size mismatches ieee802154: fix error return code in ieee802154_add_iface() ieee802154: fix error return code in ieee802154_llsec_getparams() Bluetooth: fix the erroneous flush_work() order Bluetooth: use correct lock to prevent UAF of hdev object net: caif: added cfserl_release function net: caif: add proper error handling net: caif: fix memory leak in caif_device_notify net: caif: fix memory leak in cfusbl_device_notify ALSA: timer: Fix master timer notification ext4: fix bug on in ext4_es_cache_extent as ext4_split_extent_at failed pid: take a reference when initializing `cad_pid` ocfs2: fix data corruption by fallocate nfc: fix NULL ptr dereference in llcp_sock_getname() after failed connect btrfs: fix error handling in btrfs_del_csums btrfs: fixup error handling in fixup_inode_link_counts mm, hugetlb: fix simple resv_huge_pages underflow on UFFDIO_COPY bpf: Update selftests to reflect new error states selftests/bpf: make 'dubious pointer arithmetic' test useful bpf: Fix mask direction swap upon off reg sign change bnxt_en: Remove the setting of dev_port.
