Hi Jason,

could you open a launchpad bug for this? Ideal would be to run "ubuntu-bug
linux" on an affected machine (just one running the hwe kernel to get the
environment right). Note down the patch reference below in the description and
let us know the bug number here. Thanks.

From a quick check, the patch was for 4.7+ and fixed in 4.13, so hwe would be
the only affected kernel version. Upstream stable only picked it up in 4.12.10
as any older versions were already out of support.
