** Description changed: 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 2.6.31.6 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. TEST CASE: TBD http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.6 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.31.6.bz2 ========== The 2.6.31.6 Upstream Stable Kernel brings in the following 101 patches: * fs: pipe.c null pointer dereference * pci: increase alignment to make more space for hidden code * libata: fix internal command failure handling * libata: fix PMP initialization * sata_nv: make sure link is brough up online when skipping hardreset * nfs: Fix nfs_parse_mount_options() kfree() leak * KVM: use proper hrtimer function to retrieve expiration time * KVM: ignore reads from AMDs C1E enabled MSR * futex: Handle spurious wake up * futex: Check for NULL keys in match_futex * futex: Move drop_futex_key_refs out of spinlock'ed region * futex: Fix spurious wakeup for requeue_pi really * ahci: revert "Restore SB600 sata controller 64 bit DMA" * sparc64: Set IRQF_DISABLED on LDC channel IRQs. * sparc: Kill PROM console driver. * watchdog: Fix rio watchdog probe function * Input: synaptics -
