** Description changed: 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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 2.6.31.7 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. TEST CASE: TBD http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.7 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.31.7.bz2 ========== The 2.6.31.7 Upstream Stable Kernel brings in the following 123 patches. 5 of the 123 patches have already been released in a security update. And 1 patch replaces an existing patch we were temporarily carrying. * nilfs2: fix kernel oops in error case of nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks * cifs: don't use CIFSGetSrvInodeNumber in is_path_accessible * cifs: clean up handling when server doesn't consistently support inode numbers * cifs: clear server inode number flag while autodisabling * CIFS: fix oops in cifs_lookup during net boot * CIFS: Duplicate data on appending to some Samba servers * gdth: Prevent negative offsets in ioctl CVE-2009-3080 # Already included in security update * rtl8187: Fix kernel oops when device is removed when LEDS enabled * md: don't clear endpoint for resync when resync is interrupted. * md/raid5: make sure curr_sync_completes is uptodate when reshape starts * md/raid1/raid10: add a cond_resched * ALSA: usb-audio: fix combine_word problem * ALSA: hda -
