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 4.4.74 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 4.4.74 stable release shall be applied:
* configfs: Fix race between create_link and configfs_rmdir
* can: gs_usb: fix memory leak in gs_cmd_reset()
* cpufreq: conservative: Allow down_threshold to take values from 1 to 10
* vb2: Fix an off by one error in 'vb2_plane_vaddr'
* mac80211: don't look at the PM bit of BAR frames
* mac80211/wpa: use constant time memory comparison for MACs
* mac80211: fix CSA in IBSS mode
* mac80211: fix IBSS presp allocation size
* serial: efm32: Fix parity management in 'efm32_
* x86/mm/32: Set the '__vmalloc_
* mfd: omap-usb-tll: Fix inverted bit use for USB TLL mode
* staging: rtl8188eu: prevent an underflow in rtw_check_
* iio: proximity: as3935: recalibrate RCO after resume
* USB: hub: fix SS max number of ports
* usb: core: fix potential memory leak in error path during hcd creation
* pvrusb2: reduce stack usage pvr2_eeprom_
* USB: gadget: dummy_hcd: fix hub-descriptor removable fields
* usb: r8a66597-hcd: select a different endpoint on timeout
* usb: r8a66597-hcd: decrease timeout
* drivers/
IS_ERR()
* usb: xhci: ASMedia ASM1042A chipset need shorts TX quirk
* USB: gadgetfs, dummy-hcd, net2280: fix locking for callbacks
* mm/memory-
* swap: cond_resched in swap_cgroup_
* genirq: Release resources in __setup_irq() error path
* alarmtimer: Prevent overflow of relative timers
* usb: dwc3: exynos fix axius clock error path to do cleanup
* MIPS: Fix bnezc/jialc return address calculation
* alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals
