related items will roll forward to 13.10.

Status: Raring Development Kernel

We are 2 days from 13.04′s release. All kernel patches submitted must
adhere to our SRU policy. Only critical bug fixes necessary for the
13.04 release will warrant an upload at this time. There are currently
no plans for a 0-day SRU kernel either.

Important upcoming dates:

Open Discussion or Questions? Raise your hand to be recognized

There was a question about what’s going on the arm side.
The question was rather open ended, so further discussion was moved to #ubuntu-kernel.
The following patch was also discussed: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mlankhorst/linux/commit/?id=ae7b687c2a57ec50a9d3dde7b0a80a262fdc8c8
It was requested that a bug is opened, and a SRU request can be submitted.

ARM Status

R/master: found a fix for lp1168039 (“highbank: network corruption”) and
lp1166956 (“[highbank] Oops: PC is at pl330_irq_handler+0x21c/0x3b0 [pl330]“),
still working on the reboot issue on highbank (but i tracked it down to a pl310
errata).
R/nexus4: sent a config diff that made our nexus4 kernel work with the phablet
image.
ppisati, will the highbank fixes make it today ?
rtg: nope, i wanted to send them all together when i’ve fixed the reboot issue too
tomorrow is last upload before release

Status: Stable, Security, and Bugfix Kernel Updates – Quantal/Precise/Oneiric/Lucid/Hardy

We’re skipping a kernel SRU cadence to allow for an additional 3 weeks of testing for the kernel that will ship with the 12.04.2 point release.
However, due to regressions, we currently have new Precise, Quantal and lts-Quantal kernels in Testing.
Next week the regular SRU cycles will restart.

inadvertantly gone missing after the rebase.
