2009-12-16 07:39:21 Leann Ogasawara 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 2.6.31.8 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-2.6.31.8 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.31.8.bz2 The 2.6.31.8 Upstream Stable Kernel brings in the following 91 patches: * ext4: Fix memory leak fix when mounting an ext4 filesystem * ext4: Avoid null pointer dereference when decoding EROFS w/o a journal * jbd2: Fail to load a journal if it is too short * jbd2: round commit timer up to avoid uncommitted transaction * ext4: fix journal ref count in move_extent_par_page * ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation mode * ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files * jbd2: Annotate transaction start also for jbd2_journal_restart() * ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks() * ext4: reject too-large filesystems on 32-bit kernels * ext4: Add feature set check helper for mount & remount paths * ext4: Add missing unlock_new_inode() call in extent migration code * ext4: Allow rename to create more than EXT4_LINK_MAX subdirectories * ext4: Limit number of links that can be created by ext4_link() * ext4: Restore wbc->range_start in ext4_da_writepages() * ext4: fix cache flush in ext4_sync_file * ext4: Fix wrong comparisons in mext_check_arguments() * ext4: Remove unneeded BUG_ON() in ext4_move_extents() * ext4: Return exchanged blocks count to user space in failure * ext4: Take page lock before looking at attached buffer_heads flags * ext4: print more sysadmin-friendly message in check_block_validity() * ext4: Use bforget() in no journal mode for ext4_journal_{forget,revoke}() * ext4: Assure that metadata blocks are written during fsync in no journal mode * ext4: Make non-journal fsync work properly * ext4: move ext4_mb_init_group() function earlier in the mballoc.c * ext4: check for need init flag in ext4_mb_load_buddy * ext4: Don't update superblock write time when filesystem is read-only * ext4: Always set dx_node's fake_dirent explicitly. * ext4: Fix initalization of s_flex_groups * ext4: Fix include/trace/events/ext4.h to work with Systemtap * ext4: Fix small typo for move_extent_per_page() * ext4: Replace get_ext_path macro with an inline funciton * ext4: Replace BUG_ON()

files to < 2^32 * ext4: store EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE in i_state instead of i_flags * ext4: Fix the alloc on close after a truncate hueristic * ext4: Fix hueristic which avoids group preallocation for closed files * ext4: Adjust ext4_da_writepages() to write out larger contiguous chunks * ext4: release reserved quota when block reservation for delalloc retry * ext4: Split uninitialized extents for direct I/O * ext4: Use end_io callback to avoid direct I/O fallback to buffered I/O * ext4: async direct IO for holes and fallocate support * ext4: EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT: Check for different original and donor inodes first * ext4: Avoid updating the inode table bh twice in no journal mode * ext4: Make sure ext4_dirty_inode() updates the inode in no journal mode * ext4: Handle nested ext4_journal_start/stop calls without a journal * ext4: Fix time encoding with extra epoch bits * ext4: fix a BUG_ON crash by checking that page has buffers attached to it * ext4: retry failed direct IO allocations * ext4:

jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer() * ext4: Return the PTR_ERR of the correct pointer in setup_new_group_blocks() * ext4: Avoid data / filesystem corruption when write fails to copy data * ext4: wait for log to commit when umounting * ext4: remove blocks from inode prealloc list on failure * ext4: ext4_get_reserved_space() must return bytes instead of blocks * ext4: quota macros cleanup * ext4:
