Comment 20 for bug 1663991

Joseph, I have installed the patched kernel. As of now, I have a USB hub connected with four drives attached to it. It is twice as much as I could connect before. The syslog seems to be perfectly clear and kswapd does not hang with 100% CPU consumption. I am stressing the drives a bit and everything is working fine so far. The problem looks completely fixed.

Thank you very much!

Two more questions please, ...

The kernel from you updated (removed) my only kernel installed. When a new kernel is released, will the update process take care automatically or should I execute some pre/post update procedures to keep my system working and clean?

Can I expect the patch to be included in the next kernel update? I do not want to make my system unstable again.

Thank you once more, Joseph and Vej ...
