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 Linux 4.8.8 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Luis Henriques (henrix) Status: In Progress ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Assignee: (unassigned) => Luis Henriques (henrix) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642607 Title: Yakkety update to 4.8.8 stable release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1642607/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
