I see that now. It came with tag v4.4-rc3. The way I read this part
of the commit footer:
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org
is that the patch is recommended to be applied on all affected
"stable" kernel versions. I guess the bug was introduced with this
huge (11M) commit:
commit f1d2b4d338bf090296f67830025228872fd52513
Author: Larry Finger <larry.fin...@lwfinger.net>
Date: Mon Sep 7 15:59:16 2015 -0500
Any kernel released after that date may be affected.
