Hi!
This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.9.337 release. There are 251 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.
These are kCFI fixes, we don't really need them in 4.9:
Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org net: ethernet: ti: Fix return type of netcp_ndo_start_xmit() Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org hamradio: baycom_epp: Fix return type of baycom_send_packet() Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org drm/fsl-dcu: Fix return type of fsl_dcu_drm_connector_mode_valid() Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid()
This is marked as not-for-stable, and does not fix anything really bad, just smatch warning:
Marcus Folkesson marcus.folkesson@gmail.com HID: hid-sensor-custom: set fixed size for custom attributes
This is quite wrong. Real bug is registering the interrupt before the device is set up -- it should be fixed by reordering the init code, not by checking for NULL.
Gaosheng Cui cuigaosheng1@huawei.com ALSA: mts64: fix possible null-ptr-defer in snd_mts64_interrupt
This may turn working config into non-working for someone, as people now need to enable PWM manually to get fully working driver. I don't think we want it in stable.
Andy Shevchenko andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com fbdev: ssd1307fb: Drop optional dependency
This claims to fix a deadlock, but in turn it calls cancel_delayed_work_sync from interrupt handler. I don't think that is good idea.
Marek Szyprowski m.szyprowski@samsung.com ASoC: wm8994: Fix potential deadlock
This one is okay in mainline, but contains wrong error handling in the 4.9 backport. 4.19 seems okay. It needs to "goto out_unlock", not return directly.
