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 4.4.96 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 4.4.96 stable release shall be applied:
* workqueue: replace pool->manager_arb mutex with a flag
* ALSA: hda/realtek - Add support for ALC236/ALC3204
* ALSA: hda - fix headset mic problem for Dell machines with alc236
* ceph: unlock dangling spinlock in try_flush_caps()
* usb: xhci: Handle error condition in xhci_stop_device()
* spi: uapi: spidev: add missing ioctl header
* fuse: fix READDIRPLUS skipping an entry
* xen/gntdev: avoid out of bounds access in case of partial gntdev_mmap()
* Input: elan_i2c - add ELAN0611 to the ACPI table
* Input: gtco - fix potential out-of-bound access
* assoc_array: Fix a buggy node-splitting case
* scsi: zfcp: fix erp_action use-before-
* scsi: sg: Re-fix off by one in sg_fill_
* can: sun4i: fix loopback mode
* can: kvaser_usb: Correct return value in printout
* can: kvaser_usb: Ignore CMD_FLUSH_
* regulator: fan53555: fix I2C device ids
* x86/microcode/
* ecryptfs: fix dereference of NULL user_key_payload
* Revert "drm: bridge: add DT bindings for TI ths8135"
* Linux 4.4.96
