Quote from upstream bug report discussion:

 I agree there's something wrong with the code, although I would also
 like to have ways of reproducing this. Working on this bug right now is
 kind of a shot in the dark, and it seems numerous people here have
 worked on PoC or have real world conditions to reproduce those
 issues. It would be nice to share those so we can fix those issues
 properly.

SuSE has also taken the upstream patch including the latest changes. But exactly the changes from Jan. 2017 introduce the regression. Changes afterwards seem to be more code clean-up.

Fedora and ArchLinux seem not to apply the patch (yet).
