Comment 17 for bug 1956519

Hi Vadik,

Thanks for running that test kernel, and its great to hear that it fixes your issue.

I have written up a proper SRU template for the bug, and I tidied up the patches and submitted them for SRU to the Ubuntu Kernel team mailing list:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2022-January/127102.html
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2022-January/127103.html

The next steps are for the kernel team to review the patches. We need two acks from Senior Kernel Team members to be accepted into the next kernel SRU cycle.

Once we have two acks, the patch will be applied to the Impish kernel git tree, and built into the next kernel update, and placed into -proposed for verification. When this happens, I will need you to test the kernel in -proposed and again make sure it fixes your issue. If it does, I will mark the Launchpad bug as verified and the kernel will be released to -updates at the end of the cycle.

Looking at https://kernel.ubuntu.com/, we see the next patch deadline is the 26th of Jan, hopefully we will get a review by then, the kernel team will build the kernel between 31st Jan and 4th of Feb, and the kernel will be in -proposed between 7th Feb and 18th of Feb, with a release hopefully 21st Feb, give or take a few days if any CVEs turn up.

I will keep you informed of each step, and I will write back when its time to test the kernel in -proposed.

Thanks,
Matthew
