Here's the fragment of Oops I have demonstrating the crash. If I'm understanding the versioning here, it looks like the issue may now have been fully addressed by that patch alone? :(

Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The underlying kernel bug was originally reported and fixed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1508609 The bug was fixed confirmed not present in the original trusty kernel and has been fixed in vivid and wily, but was not addressed in utopic as it has EOL. If my understanding is correct, while Utopic has EOL, the lts-utopic hwe kernel is expected to be supported until the final Trusty release (14.04.05) next summer. Can we have the original kernel issue also addressed in lts-utopic (assuming it hasn't been already?). We are seeing users running this kernel on trusty systems and they still appear to be affected.
