Due to the nature of this bug, being very difficult to reproduce, real verification could take weeks instead of only days. However, one reporter has been running with a test kernel I built here https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+archive/ubuntu/lp1723127
which is the base 4.4.0-112 kernel plus the two patches from this bug. In their testing, running on 6 weeks now, the problem has not reproduced and they have seen no other issues. Of course, that test kernel doesn't have all the other patches that the -proposed kernel has, but that testing is likely the best verification we can get for this particular bug. I have also asked the same reporter to switch their testing from my test kernel over to the -proposed kernel, and to report any unexpected issues they see. If they do report any regression, I'll communicate that here.
Based on that justification, I'll mark this bug as verified.
