I'd like to add that we are seeing this problem with singlepath installations and need to get this fixed upstream as soon as possible. RHEL new product contains this fix and is working for us, but we need to be able to offer other distros as well. I am currently running this patch on a custom-built Ubuntu 16.04.2 kernel and it is fixing the problem there.
What needs to be done to get this patch accepted?
Note that James proposed a different patch to fix this bug.

I will test this out. Thanks.
