------------------------- NOTE: There are still a lot of pending stable patches in the queue, well over 400 of them to be specific, so some of your favorite/pet patches might not be included in these releases. Please be patient as I dig out from this backlog over the next few weeks. If there are specific patches that you just _must_ have included in a stable release soon, please let me know. ------------------------- This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.4.1 release. There are 67 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know. Responses should be made by Fri Jan 29 18:08:16 UTC 2016. Anything received after that time might be too late. The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.4.1-rc1.gz and the diffstat can be found below. thanks, greg k-h ------------- Pseudo-Shortlog of commits: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Linux 4.4.1-rc1 Lorenzo Pieralisi <lorenzo.pieralisi@xxxxxxx> arm64: kernel: enforce pmuserenr_el0 initialization and restore Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> arm64: mm: ensure that the zero page is visible to the page table walker John Blackwood <john.blackwood@xxxxxxxx> arm64: Clear out any singlestep state on a ptrace detach operation Ulrich Weigand <ulrich.weigand@xxxxxxxxxx> powerpc/module: Handle R_PPC64_ENTRY relocations Ulrich Weigand <ulrich.weigand@xxxxxxxxxx> scripts/recordmcount.pl: support data in text section on powerpc Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@xxxxxxxxx> powerpc: Make {cmp}xchg* and their atomic_ versions fully ordered Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@xxxxxxxxx> powerpc: Make value-returning atomics fully ordered Michael Neuling <mikey@xxxxxxxxxxx> powerpc/tm: Check for already reclaimed tasks Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> batman-adv: Drop immediate orig_node free function Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_hard_iface free function Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> batman-adv: Drop immediate neigh_ifinfo free function Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_neigh_node free function Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_orig_ifinfo free function Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> batman-adv: Avoid recursive call_rcu for batadv_nc_node Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> batman-adv: Avoid recursive call_rcu for batadv_bla_claim Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> team: Replace rcu_read_lock with a mutex in team_vlan_rx_kill_vid Doron Tsur <doront@xxxxxxxxxxxx> net/mlx5_core: Fix trimming down IRQ number Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> bridge: fix lockdep addr_list_lock false positive splat Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> ipv6: update skb->csum when CE mark is propagated Rabin Vincent <rabin@xxxxxx> net: bpf: reject invalid shifts Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> phonet: properly unshare skbs in phonet_rcv() Lars Persson <lars.persson@xxxxxxxx> dwc_eth_qos: Fix dma address for multi-fragment skbs Karl Heiss <kheiss@xxxxxxxxx> bonding: Prevent IPv6 link local address on enslaved devices Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@xxxxxxxxx> net: preserve IP control block during GSO segmentation Michal Kubeček <mkubecek@xxxxxxx> udp: disallow UFO for sockets with SO_NO_CHECK option John Fastabend <john.fastabend@xxxxxxxxx> net: pktgen: fix null ptr deref in skb allocation Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> sched,cls_flower: set key address type when present Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@xxxxxxxxxx> tcp_yeah: don't set ssthresh below 2 Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> ipv6: tcp: add rcu locking in tcp_v6_send_synack() Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> net: sctp: prevent writes to cookie_hmac_alg from accessing invalid memory Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx> vxlan: fix test which detect duplicate vxlan iface willy tarreau <w@xxxxxx> unix: properly account for FDs passed over unix sockets Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx> xhci: refuse loading if nousb is used Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> usb: core: lpm: fix usb3_hardware_lpm sysfs node Oliver Freyermuth <o.freyermuth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> USB: cp210x: add ID for ELV Marble Sound Board 1 Peter Wu <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> rtlwifi: fix memory leak for USB device Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@xxxxxxxxx> ASoC: compress: Fix compress device direction check Charles Keepax <ckeepax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ASoC: wm5110: Fix PGA clear when disabling DRE Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> ALSA: timer: Handle disconnection more safely Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> ALSA: hda -
