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 4.8.8 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 4.8.8 stable release shall be
applied:
net: fec: set mac address unconditionally
net: pktgen: fix pkt_size
net/sched: act_vlan: Push skb->data to mac_header prior calling skb_vlan_*()
functions
net: Add netdev all_adj_list refcnt propagation to fix panic
packet: call fanout_release, while UNREGISTERING a netdev
netlink: do not enter direct reclaim from netlink_dump()
drivers/ptp: Fix kernel memory disclosure
net_sched: reorder pernet ops and act ops registrations
ipv6: tcp: restore IP6CB for pktoptions skbs
net: phy: Trigger state machine on state change and not polling.
ip6_tunnel: fix ip6_tnl_lookup
ipv6: correctly add local routes when lo goes up
IB/ipoib: move back IB LL address into the hard header
net/mlx4_en: fixup xdp tx irq to match rx
net: pktgen: remove rcu locking in pktgen_change_name()
bridge: multicast: restore perm router ports on multicast enable
switchdev: Execute bridge ndos only for bridge ports
rtnetlink: Add rtnexthop offload flag to compare mask
net: core: Correctly iterate over lower adjacency list
net: add recursion limit to GRO
ipv4: disable BH in set_ping_group_range()
ipv4: use the right lock for ping_group_range
net: fec: Call swap_buffer() prior to IP header alignment
net: sctp, forbid negative length
sctp: fix the panic caused by route update
udp: fix IP_CHECKSUM handling
netvsc: fix incorrect receive checksum offloading
macsec: Fix header length if SCI is added if explicitly disabled
net: ipv6: Do not consider link state for nexthop validation
net sched filters: fix notification of filter delete with proper handle
sctp: validate chunk len before actually using it
ip6_tunnel: Update skb->protocol to ETH_P_IPV6 in ip6_tnl_xmit()
packet: on direct_xmit, limit tso and csum to supported devices
arch/powerpc: Update parameters for csum_tcpudp_magic & csum_tcpudp_nofold
usb: dwc3: gadget: properly account queued requests
scsi: megaraid_sas: Fix data integrity failure for JBOD (passthrough) devices
scsi: megaraid_sas: fix macro MEGASAS_IS_LOGICAL to avoid regression
