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 v4.8.4 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 v4.8.4 stable release shall be applied: serial: imx: Fix DCD reading BUG: atmel_serial: Interrupts not disabled on close serial: 8250_dw: Check the data->pclk when get apb_pclk serial: 8250_port: fix runtime PM use in __do_stop_tx_rs485() ARCv2: intc: Use kflag if STATUS32.IE must be reset ARCv2: fix local_save_flags debugfs: introduce a public file_operations accessor b43: fix debugfs crash b43legacy: fix debugfs crash carl9170: fix debugfs crashes Btrfs: fix free space tree bitmaps on big-endian systems Btrfs: fix mount -o clear_cache,space_cache=v2 Btrfs: catch invalid free space trees btrfs: assign error values to the correct bio structs mei: amthif: fix deadlock in initialization during a reset drivers: base: dma-mapping: page align the size when unmap_kernel_range IB/hfi1: Fix defered ack race with qp destroy clk: mvebu: fix setting unwanted flags in CP110 gate clock clk: mvebu: dynamically allocate resources in Armada CP110 system controller fuse: listxattr: verify xattr list fuse: invalidate dir dentry after chmod fuse: fix killing s[ug]id in setattr mm: filemap: fix mapping->nrpages double accounting in fuse i40e: avoid NULL pointer dereference and recursive errors on early PCI error xfs: change mailing list address mm: filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node brcmfmac: fix pmksa->bssid usage brcmfmac: fix memory leak in brcmf_fill_bss_param brcmfmac: use correct skb freeing helper when deleting flowring ASoC: nau8825: fix bug in FLL parameter ASoC: Intel: Atom: add a missing star in a memcpy call reiserfs: Unlock superblock before calling reiserfs_quota_on_mount() async_pq_val: fix DMA memory leak scsi: arcmsr: Simplify user_len checking ipc/sem.c: fix complex_count vs. simple op race mm/hugetlb: fix memory offline with hugepage size > memory block size vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range() jbd2: fix lockdep annotation in add_transaction_credits() ext4: enforce online defrag restriction for encrypted files ext4: reinforce check of i_dtime when clearing high fields of uid and gid ext4: bugfix for mmaped pages in mpage_release_unused_pages() ext4: fix memory leak in ext4_insert_range() ext4: fix memory leak when symlink decryption fails ext4: allow DAX writeback for hole punch ext4: release bh in make_indexed_dir ext4: unmap metadata when zeroing blocks dlm: free workqueues after the connections vfs: move permission checking into notify_change() for utimes(NULL) cachefiles: Fix attempt to read i_blocks after deleting file [ver #2] drm: virtio: reinstate drm_virtio_set_busid() acpi, nfit: check for the correct event code in notifications cfq: fix starvation of asynchronous writes Linux 4.8.4 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: + SRU Justification - 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.
