------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: This is going to be the last 3.14.y kernel release. You should have moved off of it by now to a more "modern" kernel, like 4.4, or even better yet, 4.7 or newer. After this release, it will be considered end-of-life and not receive any more updates. ------------------------------------------------------ This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 3.14.79 release. There are 11 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 Sun Sep 11 15:31:40 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/v3.x/stable-review/patch-3.14.79-rc1.gz or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-3.14.y and the diffstat can be found below. thanks, greg k-h ------------- Pseudo-Shortlog of commits: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Linux 3.14.79-rc1 Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> mm: thp: fix SMP race condition between THP page fault and MADV_DONTNEED Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx> fix d_walk()/non-delayed __d_free() race Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> s390/sclp_ctl: fix potential information leak with /dev/sclp Kangjie Lu <kangjielu@xxxxxxxxx> rds: fix an infoleak in rds_inc_info_copy Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx> staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: fix wrong insn_write handler Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> ext4: validate that metadata blocks do not overlap superblock Alexander Shiyan <shc_work@xxxxxxx> stb6100: fix buffer length check in stb6100_write_reg_range() Tomer Barletz <barletz@xxxxxxxxx> ALSA: oxygen: Fix logical-not-parentheses warning James C Boyd <jcboyd.dev@xxxxxxxxx> HID: hid-input: Add parentheses to quell gcc warning Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> be2iscsi: Fix bogus WARN_ON length check Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Revert "can: fix handling of unmodifiable configuration options fix" ------------- Diffstat: Makefile | 4 ++-- drivers/hid/hid-input.c | 2 +- drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stb6100.c | 2 +- drivers/net/can/dev.c | 3 --- drivers/s390/char/sclp_ctl.c | 12 +++++++----- drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_main.c | 2 +- drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/ni_mio_common.c | 2 +- fs/dcache.c | 1 + fs/ext4/super.c | 18 +++++++++++++++++- mm/memory.c | 14 ++++++++++++-- net/rds/recv.c | 2 ++ sound/pci/oxygen/oxygen_mixer.c | 2 +- 12 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
