Bug Description
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 4.4.83 upstream stable
patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
kernel as well.
TEST CASE: TBD
The following patches from the 4.4.83 stable release shall be applied:
* cpuset: fix a deadlock due to incomplete patching of cpusets_enabled()
* mm: ratelimit PFNs busy info message
* iscsi-target: fix memory leak in iscsit_
* iscsi-target: Fix iscsi_np reset hung task during parallel delete
* fuse: initialize the flock flag in fuse_file on allocation
* nfs/flexfiles: fix leak of nfs4_ff_ds_version arrays
* USB: serial: option: add D-Link DWM-222 device ID
* USB: serial: cp210x: add support for Qivicon USB ZigBee dongle
* USB: serial: pl2303: add new ATEN device id
* usb: musb: fix tx fifo flush handling again
* USB: hcd: Mark secondary HCD as dead if the primary one died
* staging:
* iio: accel: bmc150: Always restore device to normal mode after
suspend-resume
* iio: light: tsl2563: use correct event code
* uas: Add US_FL_IGNORE_
* USB: Check for dropped connection before switching to full speed
* usb: core: unlink urbs from the tail of the endpoint's urb_list
* usb: quirks: Add no-lpm quirk for Moshi USB to Ethernet Adapter
* usb:xhci:Add quirk for Certain failing HP keyboard on reset after resume
* iio: adc: vf610_adc: Fix VALT selection value for REFSEL bits
* pnfs/blocklayout: require 64-bit sector_t
* pinctrl: sunxi: add a missing function of A10/A20 pinctrl driver
* pinctrl: samsung: Remove bogus irq_[un]mask from resource management
* Linux 4.4.83
