Hello,
    
Please consider including mainline commit
d0af71a3573f1217b140c60b66f1a9b335fb058b in the next v3.18.y and v3.19.y
stable releases.  It was included in the mainline tree as of v4.0-rc1. 
It has been tested and confirmed to resolve:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428111 .

This commit fixes a regression introduced going from 3.16 to 3.19, so it
may not be needed in earlier than 3.18 stable releases.

After some further testing, it looks like only 3.19 is affected by the
bug.  The upstream 3.18.y stable kernel does not require the commit.

Thanks,

Joe
