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 v4.4.40 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 v4.4.40 stable release shall be applied: btrfs: limit async_work allocation and worker func duration Btrfs: fix tree search logic when replaying directory entry deletes btrfs: store and load values of stripes_min/stripes_max in balance status item Btrfs: fix qgroup rescan worker initialization USB: serial: option: add support for Telit LE922A PIDs 0x1040, 0x1041 USB: serial: option: add dlink dwm-158 USB: serial: kl5kusb105: fix open error path USB: cdc-acm: add device id for GW Instek AFG-125 usb: hub: Fix auto-remount of safely removed or ejected USB-3 devices usb: gadget: f_uac2: fix error handling at afunc_bind usb: gadget: composite: correctly initialize ep->maxpacket USB: UHCI: report non-PME wakeup signalling for Intel hardware ALSA: usb-audio: Add QuickCam Communicate Deluxe/S7500 to volume_control_quirks ALSA: hiface: Fix M2Tech hiFace driver sampling rate change ALSA: hda/ca0132 - Add quirk for Alienware 15 R2 2016 ALSA: hda - ignore the assoc and seq when comparing pin configurations ALSA: hda - fix headset-mic problem on a Dell laptop ALSA: hda - Gate the mic jack on HP Z1 Gen3 AiO ALSA: hda: when comparing pin configurations, ignore assoc in addition to seq clk: ti: omap36xx: Work around sprz319 advisory 2.1 Btrfs: fix memory leak in reading btree blocks Btrfs: bail out if block group has different mixed flag Btrfs: return gracefully from balance if fs tree is corrupted Btrfs: don't leak reloc root nodes on error Btrfs: fix memory leak in do_walk_down Btrfs: don't BUG() during drop snapshot btrfs: make file clone aware of fatal signals block_dev: don't test bdev->bd_contains when it is not stable ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAP crypto: caam - fix AEAD givenc descriptors ext4: fix mballoc breakage with 64k block size ext4: fix stack memory corruption with 64k block size ext4: use more strict checks for inodes_per_block on mount ext4: fix in-superblock mount options processing ext4: add sanity checking to count_overhead() ext4: reject inodes with negative size ext4: return -ENOMEM instead of success ext4: do not perform data journaling when data is encrypted f2fs: set ->owner for debugfs status file's file_operations loop: return proper error from loop_queue_rq() mm/vmscan.c: set correct defer count for shrinker fs: exec: apply CLOEXEC before changing dumpable task flags exec: Ensure mm->user_ns contains the execed files usb: gadget: composite: always set ep->mult to a sensible value blk-mq: Do not invoke .queue_rq() for a stopped queue dm flakey: return -EINVAL on interval bounds error in flakey_ctr() dm crypt: mark key as invalid until properly loaded dm space map metadata: fix 'struct sm_metadata' leak on failed create ASoC: intel: Fix crash at suspend/resume without card registration CIFS: Fix a possible memory corruption during reconnect CIFS: Fix missing nls unload in smb2_reconnect() CIFS: Fix a possible memory corruption in push locks kernel/watchdog: use nmi registers snapshot in hardlockup handler kernel/debug/debug_core.c: more properly delay for secondary CPUs tpm xen: Remove bogus tpm_chip_unregister xen/gntdev: Use VM_MIXEDMAP instead of VM_IO to avoid NUMA balancing arm/xen: Use alloc_percpu rather than __alloc_percpu xfs: set AGI buffer type in xlog_recover_clear_agi_bucket driver core: fix race between creating/querying glue dir and its cleanup ppp: defer netns reference release for ppp channel Linux 4.4.40 ** 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.
