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 v3.19.8-ckt19 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git TEST CASE: TBD The following patches from the v3.19.8-ckt19 stable release shall be applied: Linux 3.19.8-ckt19 net: phy: at803x: Request 'reset' GPIO only for AT8030 PHY mwifiex: fix corner case association failure ALSA: hda - Add new GPU codec ID 0x10de0082 to snd-hda perf/x86/intel: Fix PEBS data source interpretation on Nehalem/Westmere ipr: Fix regression when loading firmware ipr: Fix out-of-bounds null overwrite lib/ucs2_string: Correct ucs2 -> utf8 conversion efi: Add pstore variables to the deletion whitelist efi: Make efivarfs entries immutable by default efi: Make our variable validation list include the guid efi: Do variable name validation tests in utf8 efi: Use ucs2_as_utf8 in efivarfs instead of open coding a bad version lib/ucs2_string: Add ucs2 -> utf8 helper functions KVM: x86: move steal time initialization to vcpu entry time ipv6: udp: fix UDP_MIB_IGNOREDMULTI updates pinctrl: nomadik: fix pull debug print inversion net: bcmgenet: fix skb_len in bcmgenet_xmit_single() ip6_tunnel: set rtnl_link_ops before calling register_netdevice parisc: Unbreak handling exceptions from kernel modules parisc: Fix kernel crash with reversed copy_from_user() gpio: pca953x: Use correct u16 value for register word write ext4: ignore quota mount options if the quota feature is enabled KVM: x86: Inject pending interrupt even if pending nmi exist ALSA: hda - fix front mic problem for a HP desktop drm/udl: Use unlocked gem unreferencing drm/dp: move hw_mutex up the call stack sd: Fix excessive capacity printing on devices with blocks bigger than 512 bytes ALSA: usb-audio: Fix double-free in error paths after snd_usb_add_audio_stream() call ALSA: usb-audio: Minor code cleanup in create_fixed_stream_quirk() drm/radeon: add a dpm quirk for all R7 370 parts parisc: Avoid function pointers for kernel exception routines USB: option: add "D-Link DWM-221 B1" device id USB: serial: cp210x: Adding GE Healthcare Device ID USB: serial: ftdi_sio: Add support for ICP DAS I-756xU devices rbd: use GFP_NOIO consistently for request allocations xen/events: Mask a moving irq iio: st_magn: always define ST_MAGN_TRIGGER_SET_STATE mm: fix invalid node in alloc_migrate_target() ALSA: timer: Use mod_timer() for rearming the system timer ext4: add lockdep annotations for i_data_sem USB: digi_acceleport: do sanity checking for the number of ports USB: cypress_m8: add endpoint sanity check USB: mct_u232: add sanity checking in probe usb: renesas_usbhs: disable TX IRQ before starting TX DMAC transfer usb: renesas_usbhs: avoid NULL pointer derefernce in usbhsf_pkt_handler() powerpc/mm: Fixup preempt underflow with huge pages drm/radeon: add another R7 370 quirk hwmon: (max1111) Return -ENODEV from max1111_read_channel if not instantiated drm/radeon: add a dpm quirk for sapphire Dual-X R7 370 2G D5 ALSA: hda - Apply fix for white noise on Asus N550JV, too ALSA: hda - Fix white noise on Asus N750JV headphone ALSA: hda - Asus N750JV external subwoofer fixup PKCS#7: pkcs7_validate_trust(): initialize the _trusted output argument ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Vivid) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Vivid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** 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.
