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 v4.4.29 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://git.kernel.org/ TEST CASE: TBD The following patches from the v4.4.29 stable release shall be applied: drm/prime: Pass the right module owner through to dma_buf_export() drm/amdgpu: fix IB alignment for UVD drm/amdgpu/dce10: disable hpd on local panels drm/amdgpu/dce8: disable hpd on local panels drm/amdgpu/dce11: disable hpd on local panels drm/amdgpu/dce11: add missing drm_mode_config_cleanup call drm/amdgpu: change vblank_time's calculation method to reduce computational error. drm/radeon: narrow asic_init for virtualization drm/radeon/si/dpm: fix phase shedding setup drm/radeon: change vblank_time's calculation method to reduce computational error. drm/vmwgfx: Limit the user-space command buffer size drm/i915/gen9: fix the WaWmMemoryReadLatency implementation Revert "drm/i915: Check live status before reading edid" drm/i915: Account for TSEG size when determining 865G stolen base drm/i915: Unalias obj->phys_handle and obj->userptr mm/hugetlb: fix memory offline with hugepage size > memory block size posix_acl: Clear SGID bit when setting file permissions ipip: Properly mark ipip GRO packets as encapsulated. tunnels: Don't apply GRO to multiple layers of encapsulation. powerpc/eeh: Null check uses of eeh_pe_bus_get perf stat: Fix interval output values genirq/generic_chip: Add irq_unmap callback uio: fix dmem_region_start computation ARM: clk-imx35: fix name for ckil clk spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Drop extra spi_master_put in device remove function mwifiex: correct aid value during tdls setup crypto: gcm - Fix IV buffer size in crypto_gcm_setkey crypto: arm/ghash-ce - add missing async import/export hwrng: omap - Only fail if pm_runtime_get_sync returns < 0 ASoC: topology: Fix error return code in soc_tplg_dapm_widget_create() ASoC: dapm: Fix possible uninitialized variable in snd_soc_dapm_get_volsw() ASoC: dapm: Fix value setting for _ENUM_DOUBLE MUX's second channel ASoC: dapm: Fix kcontrol creation for output driver widget staging: r8188eu: Fix scheduling while atomic splat power: bq24257: Fix use of uninitialized pointer bq->charger dmaengine: ipu: remove bogus NO_IRQ reference x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling options s390/cio: fix accidental interrupt enabling during resume s390/con3270: fix use of uninitialised data s390/con3270: fix insufficient space padding clk: qoriq: fix a register offset error clk: divider: Fix clk_divider_round_rate() to use clk_readl() perf hists browser: Fix event group display perf symbols: Check symbol_conf.allow_aliases for kallsyms loading too perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones mpt3sas: Don't spam logs if logging level is 0 powerpc/nvram: Fix an incorrect partition merge ARM: pxa: pxa_cplds: fix interrupt handling Linux 4.4.29 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) 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.
