Comment 93 for bug 1569925

Hello Matt, this is part of the SRU procedure (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates). For the kernel, the SRU is a bit different (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/StableReleaseCadence). Now that the bug has been marked as "Fix Committed" is means that the patch has been merged in the "master-next" branch of every one of the following Ubuntu versions:

Changed in linux (Ubuntu Artful):
status: In Progress → Fix Committed
Changed in linux (Ubuntu Xenial):
status: In Progress → Fix Committed
Changed in linux (Ubuntu Trusty):
status: In Progress → Fix Committed

When the new kernel package is built, it will be placed into -proposed for each of the Ubuntu versions and you will be able to test the kernel and provide feedback here. Since I was the one that fixed it, I'll verify each of the kernels to make sure it fixed the issue. After verification, and at least 7 days in -proposed, the packages shall be moved to -updates.

Hope it helps you understand the fixing steps. Cheers o/
