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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 3.0.59 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 are in the 3.0.59 stable release: powerpc: Fix CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=n build powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz() s390/cio: fix pgid reserved check mm: compaction: fix echo 1 > compact_memory return error issue mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation Revert "ath9k_hw: Update AR9003 high_power tx gain table" ath9k: ar9003: fix OTP register offsets for AR9340 firewire: net: Fix handling of fragmented multicast/broadcast packets.
