@Michel,
Thanks for testing and providing an update. That is good news that this
bug is fixed in Precise. I will search LKML and see if the patch that
fixed this issue is going to be backported to the upstream stable
kernel.
You may be wondering why the kernel team doesn't just apply the patch to
Oneiric and fix it. The reason is that the kernel team is reluctant (not
opposed) to apply any patch to a stable kernel that is not from
upstream. Applying patches that don't come from upstream add greatly to
the support of the kernel as other upstream patches may touch the same
area as the non-upstream patch and may prevent them from applying
cleanly.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
