[snip] ... I was not able to apply this patch on top of kernel 4.18, as it seems to be on top of other patches since then. I was able to apply it on top of the mainline kernel as of sometime yesterday (head was at ad1d697)(somewhere between 4.18 and 4.19-rc1). I verified that as of ad1d697 the issue was still present and then tested ad1d697 + this patch and the issue is fixed. Thank you. ... Doug
