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 4.12.5 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 4.12.5 stable release shall be applied: jfs: Don't clear SGID when inheriting ACLs ALSA: fm801: Initialize chip after IRQ handler is registered ALSA: hda - Add missing NVIDIA GPU codec IDs to patch table ALSA: hda - Add mute led support for HP ProBook 440 G4 parisc: Prevent TLB speculation on flushed pages on CPUs that only support equivalent aliases parisc: Extend disabled preemption in copy_user_page parisc: Suspend lockup detectors before system halt powerpc/pseries: Fix of_node_put() underflow during reconfig remove mmc: sunxi: Keep default timing phase settings for new timing mode NFS: invalidate file size when taking a lock.
