[Bug 575853] Re: [Lucid] Update to 2.6.32.12 Stable Kernel

Wed May 5 15:30:12 UTC 2010

** Description changed:

- tbd
+ 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 2.6.32.12 upstream stable patch set is now available. It
+ should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.
+ 
+ Due to the fact that we are carrying the DRM backport from 2.6.33, all
+ patches affecting DRM have been dropped from the 2.6.32.12 port and
+ picked from 2.6.33.3 instead.
+ 
+ TEST CASE: TBD
