[Bug 1698799] Re: Xenial update to 4.4.72 stable release

 

Skipped "net: better skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id cohabitation" as
it was already applied for bug #1673303 "[Xenial] net: better
skb->sender_cpu and skb->napi_id cohabitation".

** Description changed:

-     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 4.4.72 upstream stable
+        patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
+        kernel as well.
