This is good news for the people using cosmic!

Will the fix be released for bionic too?

The Ubuntu wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BugTriage/BugStates
defines Fix Committed and Released as follows.

Fix Committed

Bugs that are marked Fix Committed are considered fixed by a patch which as been committed to the Ubuntu kernel git repository. This does not mean the fix has been released but it should be expected to be in the next kernel upload. There is no determinate time when a kernel upload will happen, it's up to the discretion of the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Fix Released

Bugs are moved to a Fix Released state when the fix is readily available in the Ubuntu archive (in the updates pocket). If the Ubuntu kernel developer correctly created the git commit message to include the Launchpad Buglink, the launchpad janitor should automatically move a bug from Fix Committed to Fix Released once the fix is officially available.

To summarise, the fix was committed upstream on 2018-06-04
The status of this bug was changed to Fix Committed on 2018-06-20 and also on 2018-07-25
A few new kernel releases for bionic, not containing the fix, have occurred since those dates.

Did something go wrong in committing the fix to the bionic kernel?
Can we do anything to help getting the fix released for bionic?
