To my knowledge (which is limited, when it comes to the kernel package with all its extra rules) this falls under:
3. The patch is included in a corresponding upstream stable or extended stable release. For the lifetime of both LTS and non-LTS releases we will be pulling upstream stable updates from the corresponding series. There will be one tracking bug report for each stable update but additional references to existing bugs will be added to the contained patches (on best can do base). As Joseph Salisbury wrote it had been cc'd to the upstream stable mailinglist already. So you might want to try to find out how their progress is on this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663991 Title: Unable to Connect Third HDD via USB Hub Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Hello, I am running: (K)Ubuntu 16.10 4.8.0-37-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 26 02:27:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux There has been found a bug in 4.8, which causes kernel call trace when I connect third USB HDD to a USB hub.
