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 4.10.15 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 4.10.15 stable release shall be applied:
* timerfd: Protect the might cancel mechanism proper
* Handle mismatched open calls
* hwmon: (it87) Avoid registering the same chip on both SIO addresses
* dm ioctl: prevent stack leak in dm ioctl call
* Linux 4.10.15
