Public bug reported:

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 Linus' tree or in a minimally
       backported form of that patch. The 3.8.13.6 upstream stable
       patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
       kernel as well.

       git://git.kernel.org/

    TEST CASE: TBD

       The following patches are in the 3.8.13.6 stable release:

* Linux 3.8.13.6
* vlan: fix a race in egress prio management
* macvtap: do not zerocopy if iov needs more pages than MAX_SKB_FRAGS

* macvtap: correctly linearize skb when zerocopy is used
* tuntap: correctly linearize skb when zerocopy is used
* ifb: fix rcu_sched self-detected stalls
* sunvnet: vnet_port_remove must call unregister_netdev
