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: v4.4.247 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ btrfs: tree-checker: Enhance chunk checker to validate chunk profile btrfs: inode: Verify inode mode to avoid NULL pointer dereference HID: cypress: Support Varmilo Keyboards' media hotkeys Input: i8042 - allow insmod to succeed on devices without an i8042 controller HID: hid-sensor-hub: Fix issue with devices with no report ID x86/xen: don't unbind uninitialized lock_kicker_irq proc: don't allow async path resolution of /proc/self components dmaengine: pl330: _prep_dma_memcpy: Fix wrong burst size scsi: libiscsi: Fix NOP race condition scsi: target: iscsi: Fix cmd abort fabric stop race scsi: ufs: Fix race between shutdown and runtime resume flow bnxt_en: fix error return code in bnxt_init_board() video: hyperv_fb: Fix the cache type when mapping the VRAM bnxt_en: Release PCI regions when DMA mask setup fails during probe.
