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 v4.16.2 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 v4.16.2 stable release shall be applied: sparc64: Oracle DAX driver depends on SPARC64 arp: fix arp_filter on l3slave devices net: dsa: Discard frames from unused ports net/ipv6: Increment OUTxxx counters after netfilter hook net/sched: fix NULL dereference in the error path of tcf_bpf_init() pptp: remove a buggy dst release in pptp_connect() sctp: do not leak kernel memory to user space sctp: sctp_sockaddr_af must check minimal addr length for AF_INET6 sky2: Increase D3 delay to sky2 stops working after suspend vlan: also check phy_driver ts_info for vlan's real device net: fool proof dev_valid_name() ip_tunnel: better validate user provided tunnel names ipv6: sit: better validate user provided tunnel names ip6_gre: better validate user provided tunnel names ip6_tunnel: better validate user provided tunnel names vti6: better validate user provided tunnel names net_sched: fix a missing idr_remove() in u32_delete_key() nfp: use full 40 bits of the NSP buffer address Linux 4.16.2 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Seth Forshee (sforshee) Status: Fix Committed ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** 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.
