The actual fix for this issue would be to backport two related patches that were accepted upstream in Feb/March 2019. But doing a full backport is complicated because of dependencies on other new code.

Instead of a full backport of these patches, a SAUCE patch was generated to avoid the complicated dependencies. The SAUCE patch is attached to the bug.

Microsoft and the affected customer feel this patch is pretty small and safe. Microsoft and the end customer have tested the backport and confirmed that it solves the problem.

Backports are needed for both the 4.15.0 and the 5.0 azure kernels that are used in Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 images in the Azure Marketplace. The customer is using the 4.15 kernel from Ubuntu 16.04, so getting this fix included there is fairly high priority, though not “critical/emergency” level. Getting the fix included in the 5.0 kernel in Ubuntu 18.04 in the Azure Marketplace is low priority.
