Ok, so this looks like commit 8777b927b92cf5b6c29f9f9d3c737addea9ac8a7
upstream which is commit 7de694782cbe7840f2c0de6f1e70f41fc1b8b6e8 in
4.9.62.

I've cc:ed the authors of that patch now.

Maarten, any hints?  Should I revert this from 4.9-stable, or was there
a follow-on patch that resolved this issue in mainline?

thanks,

greg k-h
