I have written to the kernel development mailing list and now the issue is solved in mainline from kernel 3.10.0. I'm not able to test it because I don't use ubuntu anymore but looking at the kernel version I can say that it is solved. Only kernels between 3.5 and 3.10 have this problem, if I remember well, and there are some patches that you can apply on these kernels to solve the problem: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2723671/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2723721/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2723751/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2723791/
