The whole discussion seems to be going back and forth and is rather confusing. 
On one side there is the ceph discussion where Stefan Priebe indeed mentions 
that he has many more patches in his tree. On the other side there is the LKML 
discussion which ends in GregKH getting exactly one patch submitted for 4.4 and 
4.6 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/12/297).
This is the backport of the last of the 3 patches in comment #11. I am not sure 
whether Peter Zijlstra just as well got confused in the end or it turned out 
that in older kernels one only needed the last one. From the references in the 
patches, the last one refers to the second and the second refers to the first. 
Practically the last one works around certain values becoming 0 in certain 
corner cases. Which causes the divide errors. So maybe it is enough.

As for the last test kernel done by Tim: although is answer when I asked
about what was in there sounded like it might be the same set, I am
starting to doubt that from the time-line. That kernel was done in April
and all three patches I had were 4.7-rc1 or later which looks to be from
May. So I cannot really believe that those were in discussion back then.

So what I would like to propose: I created a PPA and uploaded a kernel
with just the last patch applied
(https://launchpad.net/~smb/+archive/ubuntu/xenial/+packages). This is
the state that is queued upstream for 4.4.x longterm (but not yet
released). Someone who can see the issue should actually test this
kernel. Regardless of any reports on the ceph list. Because if this does
not fix the problem this should be discussed upstream.
