2010-01-19 16:55:32 Surbhi Palande linux (Ubuntu): status New In Progress
2010-01-19 16:57:27 Surbhi Palande 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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 2.6.31.9 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. TEST CASE: TBD http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.10 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.31.10.bz2 The 2.6.31.10 Upstream Stable Kernel brings in the following 37 patches: * acerhdf: limit modalias matching to supported * ASoC: Do not write to invalid registers on the wm9712. * cifs: NULL out tcon, pSesInfo, and srvTcp pointers when chasing DFS referrals * clockevents: Prevent clockevent_devices list corruption on cpu hotplug * dma: at_hdmac: correct incompatible type for argument 1 of 'spin_lock_bh' * drivers/net/usb: Correct code taking the size of a pointer * Libertas: fix buffer overflow in lbs_get_essid() * md: Fix unfortunate interaction with evms * pata_cmd64x: fix overclocking of UDMA0-2 modes * pata_hpt3x2n: fix clock turnaround * SCSI: fc class: fix fc_transport_init error handling * sound: sgio2audio/pdaudiocf/usb-audio: initialize PCM buffer * USB: emi62: fix crash when trying to load EMI 6|2 firmware * USB: Fix a bug on appledisplay.c regarding signedness * USB: musb: gadget_ep0: avoid SetupEnd interrupt * USB: option: support hi speed for modem Haier CE100 * x86, cpuid: Add "volatile" to asm in native_cpuid() * e100: Use pci pool to work around GFP_ATOMIC order 5 memory allocation failure * e100: Fix broken cbs accounting due to missing memset. * hostap: Revert a toxic part of the conversion to net_device_ops * hwmon: (fschmd) Fix check on unsigned in watchdog_write() * hwmon: (sht15) Off-by-one error in array index + incorrect constants * i2c/tsl2550: Fix lux value in extended mode * ipv6: reassembly: use seperate reassembly queues for conntrack and local delivery * S390: dasd: support DIAG access for read-only devices * udf: Try harder when looking for VAT inode * V4L/DVB (13596): ov511.c typo: lock => unlock * x86/ptrace: make genregs[32]_get/set more robust * XFS bug in log recover with quota (bugzilla id 855) * generic_permission: MAY_OPEN is not write access * rt2x00: Disable powersaving for rt61pci and rt2800pci. * memcg: avoid oom-killing innocent task in case of use_hierarchy * Input: atkbd - add force relese key quirk for Samsung R59P/R60P/R61P * Add unlocked version of inode_add_bytes() function * quota: decouple fs reserved space from quota reservation * ext4: Convert to generic reserved quota's space management. * ext4: fix sleep inside spinlock issue with quota and dealloc (#14739) == Fixes Bugs == * Bug 435958 - fixed with "acerhdf: limit modalias matching to supported" * Bug 490068 - fixed with "USB: option: support hi speed for modem Haier CE100" * Bug 253874 - fixed with "Input: atkbd - add force relese key quirk for Samsung R59P/R60P/R61P" 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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch.

2010-01-20 15:22:55 Surbhi Palande 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 Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 2.6.31.10 and 2.6.31.11 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. We do these updates together since 2.6.31.11 has only a single patch which reverts a patch from 2.6.31.10.
