** Description changed:
+ [SRU Justification]
+
+ == Impact ==
+
+ 1bd4978a88ac2 ("tun: honor IFF_UP in tun_get_user()") which is part of
+ kernel v4.5 introduced an issue where userspace processes might not get
+ notified if a link comes up after initially being down. This was fixed
+ in the requested backport (from 4.17).
+
+ == Fix ==
+
+ Backport the requested patch to Bionic (4.15). Xenial (4.4) is not
+ affected and Disco and later already contain that fix.
+
+ == Risk of Regregression ==
+
+ The change only slightly modifies a very specific protocol function.
+ Risk should be low and limited to tuntap.
+

The upstream commit 2f3ab6221e4c ("tuntap: correctly set
SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE") is missing.
Without this patch, userspace apps that use tuntap may be blocked.
