== SRU Justification ==
When a user chooses "Safely remove drive" context menu entry for an external
USB drive within a nautilus window or directly clicking on the desktop icon,
after about 10 seconds the drive is automatically remounted and a Nautilus
window showing the root folder opens.
This bug affects quite a few users and has been opened for a few years. There
is a patch now avaiable upstream that fixes this bug.
This bug is now fixed by commit 37be66767e3c. This commit landed in mainline
as of 4.10-rc1. The commit was cc'd to stable but has not landed in Ubuntu
yet. This commit is a clean cherry pick for Xenial and Yakkety. However,
Precise and Trusty require a backport, so the SRU request for them will be
sent seperate. Zesty will get this fix when it is rebased to 4.10.
== Fix ==

usb: hub: Fix auto-remount of safely removed or ejected USB-3 devices
== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
