Comment 5 for bug 1692836

Hi Mario,

Do you know who is the author of this patch? Why he doesn't submit it? And are there any drawbacks by calling that function?

I could SRU the patch to Ubuntu kernel(4.8/4.10), but it's a little bit risky to submit it to upstream if I don't understand the patch well.

To setup the test environment takes time, I can try verifying it next week(we are on holiday next Monday and Tuesday).
