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 4.8.7 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 4.8.7 stable release shall be applied: i2c: rk3x: Give the tuning value 0 during rk3x_i2c_v0_calc_timings i2c: xgene: Avoid dma_buffer overrun i2c: core: fix NULL pointer dereference under race condition drm/dp/mst: Clear port->pdt when tearing down the i2c adapter spi: fsl-espi: avoid processing uninitalized data on error spi: mark device nodes only in case of successful instantiation h8300: fix syscall restarting gpio / ACPI: fix returned error from acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get() gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix line offset validation gpio: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL: Fix information leak gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEHANDLE_IOCTL: Validate line offset gpio: GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL: Fix information leak gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL: Validate line offset gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEHANDLE_IOCTL: Reject invalid line flags gpio: GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL: Reject invalid line and event flags gpio: GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL: Fix another information leak gpio: GPIO_GET_LINE{HANDLE,EVENT}_IOCTL: Fix file descriptor leak libxfs: clean up _calc_dquots_per_chunk mm/list_lru.c: avoid error-path NULL pointer deref mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache creation delayed issue mm: memcontrol: do not recurse in direct reclaim thermal/powerclamp: correct cpu support check KEYS: Fix short sprintf buffer in /proc/keys show function KEYS: Sort out big_key initialisation security/keys: make BIG_KEYS dependent on stdrng. device-dax: fix percpu_ref_exit ordering ALSA: usb-audio: Add quirk for Syntek STK1160 ALSA: seq: Fix time account regression ALSA: hda -
